Yadukulakamboji or Yadukulakambodi (yadukulakÃÂmbhÃ
Âji) is a ragam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a janya rÃÂgam (derived scale) of the 28th melakarta scale Harikambhoji, and is sometimes spelled as Yadukulakambhoji or Yadukulakambhodi. 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 Saveri and the sampurna raga scale Harikambhoji.
