Raga Malgunji is a Hindustani classical raga from the Khamaj Thaat. Some say it is a part of the Kafi Thaat too.




Theory


Malgunji is a mixture of Khamaj, Bageshree, Rageshwari and Jaijaiwanti ragas. Raga Malgunji is similar to Raag Bageshree but it employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh which makes it different from Bageshree. Malgunji also has some elements of Raga Khamaj. This Raag employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh and Komal Gandhar in Avroh. Raga Vachak notes of Raag Malgunji are S, D, n S G, R G m which are recurring. Shuddha Gāndhāra is a Prominent note. Vadi is Madhyama and Samavadi is Ṣaḍja. This Raga can be expanded in all the three octaves. This Raga creates a heavy atmosphere.
Svaras
The Svaras in the raga are,
