A Raga is derived from the 'Mela' but has 'aroha' and 'avaroha'. Melas become Ragas themselves, as soon as you give them 'aroha' and 'avaroha'. By applying the principle of 'odavashadava-sampurna' to these arohas and Avarohas we can obtain 484 ragas from each Sampurna Mela. This is in fact the principle on which the Raga system of the Karnatic music is based.
