Malkauns, known also as rag Malkosh,[1] is a raga in Indian classical music. It is one of the oldest ragas of Indian classical music.[2] The equivalent raga in Carnatic music is called Hindolam, not to be confused with the Hindustani Hindol.

According to Indian classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj, Malkauns is a raga that is "sung during small hours of the morning, just after midnight." He further adds that the raga has a soothing and intoxicating effect.[3]
