Shuddha Saveri

It is a pentatonic scale (audava-audava ragam in Carnatic music classification – audava meaning 'of 5').

Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms): It is a scale that uses the following variants of the swaras – chatushruti rishabham, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam and chatushruti dhaivatam.

[3] Ānalekara, by Purandara Dasa which is set to this rāgam, is one of the first few geetams (very short compositions) taught to beginners.

(Ragamalika:ShuddhaSaveri,Shivaranjani) This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

Shuddha Saveri's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields 4 other major pentatonic rāgams, namely, Mohanam, Hindolam, Madhyamavati and Udayaravichandrika (also known as Shuddha Dhanyasi).
