Sri Tyagaraja is a rāgam in Carnatic music[1](musical scale of South Indian classical music) created by music composer Mahesh Mahadev who has created many ragas,[2][3] Which is named after saint Tyagaraja of Tiruvaiyaru.[1][4] It is the Janya raga of 59th Melakarta rāgam Dharmavati in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic classical music. Mahesh Mahadev introduced this raga to Indian classical music by composing Carnatic kritis & viruttams.[1][5]
Sri Tyagaraja raga is an asymmetrical and does not contain dhaivatham in both ascending and descending of the scale,[1] The gamakas of this raga emotes bhakti and karuna rasa.[4]
Mahesh Mahadev has also introduced this new rāgam to Hindustani music.[6][5]
