Raag Malgunji is a very melodious Raag. It is similar to Raag Bageshree but it employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh which makes it different from Bageshree. Raag Malgunji also has some elements of Raag Khamaj.

This Raag employs Shuddha Gandhar in Aaroh and Komal Gandhar in Avroh. Raag Vachak notes of Raag Malgunji are S ,D ,N S R G m which are recurring. In Uttarang, Nishad Shuddha is occasionally rendered like m D N S. Shuddha Gandhar is a Prominent note. Vadi is Madhyam and Samvadi is Shadj.

This Raag can be expanded in all the three octaves and creates a heavy atmosphere. Following are the illustrative combinations:
