Yaman (raga)

Yaman (also known as kalyaan, Iman, Aiman,'Eman', 'Kalyani' in Carnatic classical music) is a heptatonic (Sampurna) Indian classical raga of Kalyan Thaat. Yaman is said to be a creation of Ameer Khusro (1253–1325), but latest research reveals that he might have got the inspiration of raag yaman from folk melodies of north India akin to the song form Banaaras-Mirzapur chaiti or the song like 'Sautan ghar na jaa, na jaa more saiyaan'. Music treatises mention that Ameer Khusro made yaman mixing raag hindol and a Persian melody called 'nairez'. citation required? The scale of yaman can be realized from gaandhaar murchhanaa of Shadja graam mentioned in Naatya Shaastra of Bharat some two thousand years ago. The scale of yaman matches with the notes and tones of gaandhaari jaati explained by Bhar
