Mohanakalyani
Mohanakalyani is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a "janya" rāgam (derived scale) from the 65th "melakarta" scale Mechakalyani. It is a "janya" scale, as it does not have all the seven "swaras" (musical notes) in the ascending scale. It is a combination of the pentatonic scale "Mohanam" and the Melakarta raga scale "Kalyani".
