Shulini (pronounced shūlini, Sanskrit: शूलिनि, Kannada: ಶೂಲಿನಿ, Telugu: శూలిని, Tamil: சூலினி) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 35th melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is also spelled as Sulini, Shoolini orSoolini. It is called Shailadesākshi or Shailadaeshi in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music.

Structure and Lakshana:


It is the 3rd rāgam in the 6th chakra Rutu. The mnemonic name is Rutu-Ma. The mnemonic phrase is sa ru gu ma pa dhi nu. Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇastructure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows
ārohaṇa: S R3 G3 M1 P D2 N3 S
avarohaṇa: S N3 D2 P M1 G3 R3 S

The notes used in this scale are shatsruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kakali nishadham.

As it is a melakarta rāgam, by definition it is a sampoorna rāgam (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is theshuddha madhyamam equivalent of Kosalam, which is the 71st melakarta scale.

Janya rāgams:

Shulini has a couple of minor janya rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See List of janya rāgams for list of scales associated withShulini.

Related rāgams:

Shulini's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields 3 other melakarta rāgams, namely, Shanmukhapriya, Dhenuka and Chitrambari. Graha bhedam is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the shadjam to the next note in the rāgam.
