This rag is known by several names; Kalyan, Iman, Eman, or Yaman. Strangely enough, Yaman Kalyan is a different rag. Kalyan is very popular and some commonly known examples of songs in this rag are “Ansu Bhari Hai Jai Jivan Ki Rahen”, “Ja Re Badara Bairi Ja Re” and“Jiya Le Gayo Re Mora Sanvariaya”. Yaman is a sampurna rag which is performed in the first part of the night. The vadi is Ga and the samvadiis Ni. Typically Sa and Pa are weak in the arohana. However their omission is not obligatory.
