MEGHA RANJANI - JANYA OF MELA (15) RAGAM MAYAMALAVAGOULA Megharanjani is a very minor raga, not much heard in concerts, except in the Ranjani maala, which is heard sung by many musicians. This raga is an oudava janya of mela (15) ragam Mayamalavagoula, losing Panchamam and Dhaivatham from both directions; so that the ragaswaroopam can be written as: S R1 G3 M1 N3 S // S N3 M1 G3 R1 S Sangeetha Sampradaya Pradarshini by Subbarama Dikshithar quotes the lakshna sloka of Venkatamakhi, as: audavi pa dha varja ri vakram syadavarohane | sadjagrahena samyukta gatavya megharanjani || which shows it is an oudava raga, without P and D1; R1 appearing in vakra in the avarohanam, as : SR1G3M1N3S - SN3M1G3SR1S. Ragapravaham by D.Pattammal also places the ragam under Mayamalavagoula mela; but shows different structures as: S R G M N S - S N M G R S (same as normal spec) S R G M D N S - S N P M G R S S R M P D N S - S D P M G R S S R M P D N S - S N D M P M R S S R G M N S - S N M G S R S (same as SSP) (For all practical purposes, the normal specification given first is being followed). Though there are too many compositions available, only very few are heard sung. (It can be seen that there is a huge gap from M1 to N3 in arohanam and avarohanam; expanding the raga is very limited and mostly confined to the krithi alone).

When it is "Nisha" with "Murali Ganam" to complement !! Then it would be "Akhila Devata" sakshatkaram 😊
