Malayamarutam

It is a janya rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes).

This scale is used in Hindustani music in recent years by instrumentalists.

It is a hexatonic scale (shadava-shadava rāgam[2] in Carnatic music classification).

Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms): The notes used in this scale are shadjam, shuddha rishabham, antara gandharam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadam.
