Origins & Context

Yaman Kalyana is a lighter version of Raga Yaman from the Kalyana thaat. Unlike Raga Yaman, this raga includes an additional ma, which creates a good temporary harmonic with Sa.

The exact same structure as Yaman, except there is an addition of suddha ma which is so skillfully sandwiched by a suddha ga and suddha re.
