Harikambhoji is among the oldest raga-s known. We know from the Sangam literature in Tamil that a musical instrument of that ancient age called yazh had seven strings and that, beginning with its first string, it was tuned to produce the seven swara-s of a pann called Kodippalai. Pann is the ancient Tamil name for what is now called a raga and the scale of Kodippalai is equivalent to that of Harikambhoji.
