'''Jana Ranjani''' is a raga in [[Carnatic music]], the classical music of [[South India]]. It is a [[janya]] raga of [[Sankarabharanam (raga)|Shankarabharanam]], the 29th of the 72 [[melakarta]] ragas. The [[raga]] is named thus because it induces a feeling of enjoyment (''Jana'' – People and ''Ranjani'' – can be enjoyed by people) among the ''rasikas'' (audience).<br />

Janaranjani is very similar to [[Poornachandrika]] and these Ragas are known as twin Ragas.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ragasurabhi.com/carnatic-music/raga-comparison/comparison-of-ragas--poornachandrika-and-janaranjani.html|title=Raga Comparison Poornachandrika And Janaranjani : Raga Surabhi|website=www.ragasurabhi.com|access-date=2016-05-16}}</ref> Unless sung with perfect sangathis and pidis, it is highly difficult to differentiate between the two.<br />
