S-R-G-mM-P-N-S
Shyam Kalyan is a Dha-less Kalyan variant. Ga is used sparingly in ascent, and typically skipped in phrases which run through the scale sequentially – while Re is emphasised, Pa is a resting note, and shuddha ma is taken in descent only. It bears a resemblance to Shuddha Sarang, while being distinguished by the use of Ga in characteristic vakra phrases such as MPGmR and GmPGmR.
