Dhanyasi is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a janya rāgam (derived scale) from the 8th melakarta scale Hanumatodi. It is a janya scale, as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes) in the ascending scale. It is a combination of the pentatonic scale Shuddha Dhanyasi and the sampurna raga scale Hanumatodi.
This is the common and popular scale and is used for portraying the bhakthi rasa. According to the Muthuswami Dikshitar school, Dhanyasi is derived from Nariritigaula Melakarta scale, instead of Hanumatodi scale and includes Chathushruthi Rishabham in the Avarohanam.
