Raga Malgunji is a Hindustani classical raga from the Khamaj family of raga. Some say it is a part of the Kafi Thaat too.[according to whom?]
Theory
Malgunji is a mixture of Khamaj, Bageshree, Rageshwari, Vāgeshwari [1] and Jaijaiwanti ragas. Raag Malgunji is similar to Raag Bageshree but it employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh which makes it different from Bageshree. Malgunji also has some elements of Raag Khamaj.This Raag employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh and Komal Gandhar in Avroh. Raag Vachak notes of Raag Malgunji are S, D, N S R G m which are recurring. In Uttarang, Nishad Shuddha is occasionally rendered like m D N S. Shuddha Gāndhāra is a Prominent note. Vadi is Madhyama and Samvadi is Ṣaḍja. This Raag can be expanded in all the three octaves. This Raag creates a heavy atmosphere
Svaras
The Svaras in the raga are,
