Kalyani
Indian Classical Raga
Kalyani, also known as Mechakalyani, is a raga in Carnatic music and the 65th melakarta raga in the 72 melakarta system, the fifth raga of the eleventh chakra, Rudra. It carries bhakti, shringara and vatsalya rasas, spanning devotion, romantic love and parental affection. It is a sarvakalika raga that can be sung at any time, though it is considered especially bright and pleasant in the evening, and its sharp notes make it a common choice for opening a concert.
