Mayamalava gowla ragam
The notes of this ragam contains.....
arohan : Sa Re1 Ga2 Ma1 Pa Dha1 Ni2 Sa
avarohan : Sa Ni2 Dha1 Pa Ma1 Ga2 Re1 Sa
i already mentioned that Re contains 2 notes, ie shudham and chathurshurty,which is represented as Re1 and Re2 respectively...
for this ragam it contains Sa , Re 1 (i.e shudha reshabham), Ga2 , Ma1 ,Pa , Dha 1 , Ni2 , Sa.
When a song contains all these notes,or its roots lies in these notes then we can say that its based on this (Mayamalava Gowla ) ragam.

Ragams...Saptha Swaram !!
From Classical Musics point of view there are many Ragams.....based on these ragams we are tuning or composing a song.Its very easy and good if we know about these ragams.
So here i will tell u about the different ragams,their notes etc.Basically it consists of 7 notes...ie Sa , Re , Ga ,Ma , Pa ,Dha ,Ni ....
this is one level or one pitch......like that we can sing songs in different pitches...like from low pitch to high pitch...or from high pitch to low pitch....or in high level or in low level itself....Singing is a kind of gift that we gets from GOD....so dont spoil it...know about these RAGAMS ...!!!
The above mentioned 7 notes expansions are,
Sa - Shadjam
Re - Reshabham
Ga - Ghandharam
Ma - Madhyamam
Pa - Panjhamam
Dha - Dhaivatham
Ni - Nishatham
The 7 notes that i told above is again splited or each note has its own high and low(little difference in sound) like..... "Re" may be either Sudha Reshabham and/or Chadhushruthy Reshabham (R1 and R2 respectively) .Execpt for Sa and Pa , all other notes have its own classifications.i.e, 2 notes with small differenece in sthayi (in sound)
This is same for english notes also....
In engish Sa , Re ,Ga , Ma , Pa ,Dha ,Ni ....is corresponds to
C , D ,E , F ,G ,A , B respectively
And this small notes i mentioned above ie sudha Reshabham chathushruthy reshabham is representeed as '#' symbol...
eg: The note "D" in engilsh when comes in classical note its "Re" so its of 2 type sudham and chathusruthy...
here in english its represented as D , D# (D sharp).......D is shudha reshabham and D# is chathusruthy reshabham.
the Ni note in clasical also has 2 sub notes like....kaishiki neshatham and kakali nishatham....
"Ma" (madhyamam) has shudha madhyamam (Ma1) and prathi madhyamam (Ma2).
These all are the base of classical and english music....
