Udayaravichandrika

Udayaravichandrika and the raga Suddha Dhanyasi are closely related,[5] so much that many performers treat the two as interchangeable.

Some contemporary practitioners consider Suddha Dhanyasi as more inflected (i.e., using more gamakas), and Udayaravichandrika to be more in the Hindustani tradition with almost bare (i.e., uninflected) notes.

Puritans, however, refer to the fact that Udayaravichandrika is an ancient raga in the Venkatamakhin tradition and was reputed to be created by Muthuswamy Dikshitar himself.

The Udaya Ravichandrika, in its pure form should have the following arohana and avarohana: In recent years this distinction seems to have blurred, and both ragas are considered roughly equivalent.

Udayaravichandrika's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields four other major pentatonic rāgams, namely, Mohanam, Hindolam, Madhyamavathi and Shuddha Saveri.
