Kharaharapriya is a rāga in Carnatic music. It is the 22nd melakarta rāga (parent scale) in the 72 melakarta rāga system. It is possible that the name of the ragam was originally Harapriya but it was changed to conform to the Katapayadi formula. Kharaharapriya has a distinct melody and brings out the Karuna rasam, invoking pathos in the listeners. The Kafi thaat of Hindustani music is the equivalent of Kharaharapriya.
There are many theories behind the etymology of the name Kharaharapriya. One of the most popular belief is that the ragam was initially called Samaganam and in Ramayana when Ravana was trapped by Shiva, under the kailash hill trying to lift it, it is believed that, to apeace the lord Ravana sang many hymns in praise of the lord, but his heart cooled only when a hymn wad sung in the ragam and hence the name (hara) shiva and (priya)loved hence "Harapriya " -The one dear to shiva.
It is 4th rāga in the 4th chakra Veda. The mnemonic name is Veda-Bhu. The mnemonic phrase is sa ri gi ma pa dhi ni. Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):
