Raag Shuddha Kalyan
Shuddha Kalyan is a Kalyan-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 1st prahar of the night. It uses five swaras on the way up and all seven coming down, taking a vakra (winding) path rather than a straight line. Phrases centre on Gandhar - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Dhaivat as samvadi.
Swars: Madhyam and Nishad Varjya in Aaroh. Madhyam Teevra in Avroh. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.
