Raag Bhoga Devakriya is an obscure Carnatic raag. "Devakriya" (literally "the work/action of the gods") is a known Carnatic janya raag derived from melakarta Dheerasankarabharanam (#29, Chakra 5 – Mana), which is the Carnatic equivalent of the Hindustani Bilawal thaat (all shuddha/natural notes). Devakriya typically uses a pentatonic or hexatonic scale in ascent and the full scale in descent, creating an auspicious, elevated character. The prefix "bhoga" (pleasure, enjoyment, divine bliss) transforms this into a variant that emphasises sensory or devotional delight in the divine. Whether the Bhoga prefix alters the scale or simply marks a specific compositional style is not documented in available sources. Since the parent raag Devakriya belongs to the Bilawal-equivalent melakarta, a Hindustani thaat of Bilawal could be a tentative parent context; however, the Bhoga variant's specific scale is unconfirmed, so "—" is used here. The raag has no documented presence in Hindi film music.
