The Melakarta Ragams The Melakarta Ragams are the 72 basic Janaka (parent) ragams for all of the infinite others in Carnatic Music. All of these ragams are saptaswaras, that is that they have all seven notes - Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ne, and Sa. The system is divided into two sets of 36 ragams - one set with the first Ma and the second Ma. This is very similar to the Western concept of scales and the circle of flats.
