Raag Puriya Kalyan is the variation of Raga Kalyan. It's notes are Rishabh Komal, Madhyam Teevra and all other are shuddha swaras.

The time to play is in the 5th prahar of the day (3:22 p.m. to 5:46 p.m.)

"I remember Sri Radha, who arranged many presents for Krsna after She arrived at Her home. By that time She had taken Her ablution had dressed in beautiful clothes. She was full of joy to see the lotus-like face of Her beloved Sri Krsna.

I also remember Sri Krsna in the afternoon. He was a walking toward Vraja, followed by a myriad of cows and cowherd boyfriends. At home He was received by Nanda Maharaj and other elderly people, and then He was bathed and groomed by Mother Yasoda."

In Raag Puriya-Kalyan, Pancham is a prominent note. However, in aroha use of Pancham is Alp like in Raag Yaman (M D N S'). Shadj (Sa) is also generally skipped in both aroha and Avaroha. Alaps and Taans generally start from Nishad. The following combinations clearly bring out the melodic mood of Raga Puriya Kalyan:

,N r G; G M M G; M D P; M D N D P; P M D P M G; M r G; r S; M D M N; N D M D P; D N S' N D P; G M D N S' N; D N D S'; N S'; D N r' S'; N r' G'; G' M' G'; G' r' S'; N D N D P; P M D P; M N D M G; M P M G; P D M P M G G r r S; ,N,D ,M,D; ,N r S;

Malkauns (also spelled Malkaush) is a raga in Indian classical music. It is one of the oldest ragas of Indian classical music.The equivalent raga in Carnatic music is called Hindolam, not to be confused with the Hindustani Hindol.

The name Malkaush is derived from the combination of Mal and Kaushik, which means he who wears serpents like garlands — the god Shiva. However, the Malav-Kaushik mentioned in classical texts does not appear to be the same as the Malkauns performed today.The raga is believed to have been created by goddess Parvati (the wife of Shiva) to calm Shiva, when the lord Shiva was outraged and was not calming down after Tandav in rage of Sati's sacrifice.

Arohana and Avarohana

Malkauns belongs to the Bhairavi thaat. Its notes are Sa, komal Ga, shuddh Ma, komal Dha, and komal Ni. In Western classical notation, its notes can be denoted as: tonic, minor third, perfect fourth, minor sixth and minor seventh. In raga Malkauns, Rishabh (Re - second) and Pancham (Pa - perfect fifth) are completely omitted. Its jaati is audav-audav (five-five, that is, pentatonic).

Arohana : 'n S g m d n S'
Avarohana : S' n d m g m g S, or S' n d m g S

The ga used is actually ga Sadharan (the rough minor third), 316 cent above Sa. The vadi swara is Madhyam (Ma) while the Samavadi swara is Shadaj (Sa).

Pakad: 'n S g m g S 'n S 'd 'n 'd 'm 'd 'n S

Malkauns is a serious, meditative raga, and is developed mostly in the lower octave (mandra saptak) and in a slow tempo (vilambit laya). Ornaments such as midh, gamak and andolan are used rather than 'lighter' ornaments such as murki and khatka. Komal Ni is generally considered the starting note (graha swara), and the notes komal Ga and komal Dha are performed with vibrato (andolit). All five swaras can function as pausing notes. The komal Ni in Malkauns is different from the komal Ni in Bhimpalasi.
The best time for this raga is late night. The effect of the raga is soothing and intoxicating.
