Udayaravichandrika, also called Shuddha Dhanyasi, is an audava (pentatonic) janya raga of Carnatic music, considered a janya of Kharaharapriya (the 22nd melakarta). It corresponds to the minor pentatonic scale in Western music and is close to Dhani in Hindustani music. Its prati-madhyamam equivalent is Sumanesaranjani.
