about

Raga Malkauns one of the most beautiful, popular and ancient of the ragas in Hindustani Classical music.
The name Malkauns is derived by the combination of Mal and Kaushik, which means he who wears serpents like garlands—the god Shiva. The raga is said to have evolved when Lord Shiva performed the Tandava dance. The raga thus evokes a feeling of vigor; ascribes this vigor not to the battlefield but a sense of conquering the self and reaching a state of inner satisfaction. Another tradition derives it from Malava Kaushik, an old melody that finds mention in ancient treatises. There is, however, no structural similarity between that Malava Kaushik and the present-day Malkauns.
This raga is said to have supernatural powers and can conjure spirits if rendered properly.
It is sung at late night.
