The Malhar family of ragas are associated with rejuvenation, heroism, and growth, and are said to summon monsoon rains if sung correctly. Legend has it that Emperor Akbar once asked his court musician Miyan Tansen to sing Deepak, the light-bringing raga, which caused all the lamps near him to ignite, burning so brightly that Tansen’s body began to be scorched. He went to the river to cool himself, but the water started to boil around him, forcing him to set out on a search for someone who could sing the rain-bringing Raag Malhar to cure him. He eventually met two sisters, Tana and Riri, whose evocation of the raga caused a great storm to break, finally cooling him.
Miyan Ki Malhar is said to be Tansen’s own variant of the basic Malhar structure. Both use Kafi as their base scale (SRgmPDnS), but Tansen’s version takes a shuddha [natural] Ni in ascent before reverting to a komal [flat] Ni for the descent - some say that the melodic contrast between the two Ni swaras helps clouds to descend. Pa and Sa form a strong core as the vadi and samvadi [king and queen notes]. Some associate the raga with the kadam tree, used for perfume and ornamental craftwork.
