Shree (Carnatic raga)

[1] Shree is the asampurna melakartha equivalent of Kharaharapriya, the 22nd Melakarta rāgam.

[2] Notably, Carnatic Shree takes the lower madhyamam being the asampurna scale equivalent of Kharaharapriya.

Shree is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain gāndhāram or dhaivatam in the ascending scale.

Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms): This scale uses the notes chatushruti rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chatushruti dhaivatam and kaisiki nishadam.

(Inspired from Endaro mahanubhavulu By Thyagaraja) This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

Ascending scale is same as Madhyamavati scale, shown here with shadjam at C
Notes in descending scale is that of Kharaharapriya scale, shown here with shadjam at C
