Reethigowla, Reethi Gowla or Reethigowlai is a janya raga in carnatic music. It is associated with 22nd melakarta raga Kharaharapriya.

It is Vakra Shadava-Sampoorna (Zig-zag raga with six notes in Arohana and seven in Avarohana). It is a Rakthi Ragam with unique and melodious Sancharams and Prayogams. This Raga invokes Bhakti mixed with immense joy through a Vadi-Samvadi relationship between many of its swaras such as Sa-Ma, Ri-Dha and Ga-Ni. It is also classified as a "rakti" raga (a raga of high melodic content). In the Muthuswami Dikshitar school, it is a melakarta known as Nārīrītigowla.
