Raga Shivranjani

Well today we are going to learn Raga Shivranjani which one of the most lovely Raga in Hindustani Classical Sangeet. The Hindustani rāga Shivaranjani belongs to the Kaafi thaat in terms of classification of the scale.Its Notations structure is as follows.

• Aroha   : S R g P D S
• Avroha  : S D P g R S

The komal(soft) gandhar(g) in place of shuddh gandhar (G) is the difference between this rāga and the global musical scale of Bhoop.

Shivaranjani rāgam brings out karuna rasa (pathos) and lends itself for elaboration and exploration. It has many compositions in classical music and in film songs.
The popular Hindi film song Jaane kahan gaye woh din ("Where have those days gone") is based on this scale. Shivaranjani was a favourite of the legendary composers Shankar-Jaikishan (in fact, to be more precise, that of both Shankar and Jaikishan), in addition to the aforementioned song from Mera Naam Joker they also used it for O basanti pavan paagal ("O bewitching spring breeze") in Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai and O mere sanam ("O my love") in Sangam. Kannum Kannum from the movie Thiruda Thiruda ("Thief Thief") is regarded as the most different song done in this raga.


These are the details of this Raga.
