Scale Name Tradition: Carnatic Melakarta

A collection of 72 parent scales in the katapayado system originating in southern India. They keep the Sa and Pa (1st and 5th) fixed, while allowing for two variants of Ma (4th) and three each for the other tones - Ri, Ga, Dha, and Ni (2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th). These scales are also assigned a numeric position in the set.
