Historical Information
Yaman/Aiman is not an ancient raga. It is
first mentioned in the literature in the late
16th century, by which time it was very
popular: The Sahasras contains 45
dhrupad song-texts for Kalyan and five for
Iman-Kalyan. According to
Venkatamakhin(1620), Kalyan was a
favourite melody to the Arabs, and
Pundarika included Yaman among his
'Persian' Ragas.[4]
