Sampoorna raga

Sampoorna raga

Sampoorna ragas (संपूर्ण, Sanskrit for 'complete') have all seven "swaras" in their scale. In general, the swaras in the "Arohana" and "Avarohana" strictly follow the ascending and descending scale as well. That is, they do not have "vakra" swara phrases (वक्र, meaning 'crooked').

In Carnatic music, the Melakarta ragas are "sampoorna" ragas. Some examples are "Mayamalavagowla", "Todi", "Sankarabharanam" and "Kharaharapriya".
