''' Raga Malgunji''' is a [[Hindustani classical music|Hindustani classical]] ''[[raga]]'' from the [[Khamaj Thaat]]. Some consider it is a part of the [[Kafi Thaat]] too.<ref name="auto"/>

==Theory==
Malgunji is a mixture of [[Khamaj]], [[Bageshree]], [[Rageshree|Rageshwari]] and [[Jaijaiwanti]] ragas. Raga 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 Raga Khamaj. This Raag employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh and Komal Gandhar in Avroh. Raga Vachak notes of Raag Malgunji are S, D, n S G, R G m which are recurring. Shuddha [[Gāndhāra]] is a Prominent note. Vadi is [[Madhyama (music)|Madhyama]] and [[Samavadi]] is [[Ṣaḍja]]. This Raga can be expanded in all the three octaves. This Raga creates a heavy atmosphere.
