Dhani is a pentatonic raga in Hindustani classical music.[3] It is a sprightly raga often described as Bhimpalasi sans the notes, Dha and Re. It however has its own distinct character. Dhani is frequently heard in popular music.[1] This raga is also known as the romantic version of Raag Malkauns. It is similar to Malkauns, except that in the Aaroh and Avroh, Komal Dha is replaced by Pa in this raga [2]

[edit]

Hey Manwa Tum Na Jane by Pt C R Vyas is a popular Bandish in this raag.
