Raag Shivranjani
Shivranjani is a Kafi-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 2nd prahar of the night or midnight. It uses five swaras on the way up and five coming down. Phrases centre on Pancham - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.
Swars: Madhyam and Nishad Varjya. Gandhar Komal. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.
