Raga Savani Kalyan
Savani Kalyan is a rare raga from the Kalyan thaat. Madhyam is dropped in this raga completely.
Sawani Kalyan calls for Kalyan but leaves out madhyam totally. Shuddha Nishad is visible in whichever way, but occasionally is missed in arohi moves. The area of major musical activity are mandra and Madhya saptaks. Sawani Kalyan justifies to be illuminated again. Certain Editions of this particular raga apply a feeble shuddha madhyam.
This winsome raga has now gone out of fashion, trumped by the overwhelming preference for Shuddha Kalyan. It should not be confused with Savani of the Bihag anga that is popular with the Atrauli-Jaipur vocalists. Savani Kalyan takes after Kalyan but drops madhyam completely (S R G P D N). Shuddha nishad is present in either direction but is sometimes skipped in arohi movements. As in Shuddha Kalyan, the regions of prime melodic activity are the mandra and madhya saptaks. Savani Kalyan deserves to be relumed.
