Mela Shamalangi is the first mela belonging to the Disi Chakra. The six mela belonging to this group all use a lower tetrachord of a type wich is familiar to western musicians, being found in modes such as The Hingarian minor. This makes mela Shamanlagi unique to Carnatic music. Also this one is the 55 of the 72 Carnatic scales.
