D♯ Malkos Raga
D♯ · F♯ · G♯ · B · C♯
Derived from the North Indian raga Malkauns, D♯ Malkos Raga uses the root, minor third, fourth, flat sixth, and flat seventh. Dropping the fifth entirely gives it a floating, meditative quality quite unlike the Western minor pentatonic it otherwise resembles. Rewarding for slow, expressive playing rather than fast lines.
