This raag is made from Thaat with same name i.e. Khamaaz. In this raag, There are ragas in which Aaroh and Avroh are same but there are also some ragas in which Swaras in Aaroh and Avroh are different. In Khamaaz raag, while singing / playing Aaroh, we do not play/sing Dmajor, rest all Swaras are Shudh or normal.  In Avroh, Bminor is sung, rest all Swaras are present and sung in major. Hence, the raag is Sampurna or Complete. Ga is Vaadi and Ni is Samvadi. It is sung in the second pehar in night. This raag is also known as Kalyan Raag. Since Ga is Vaadi, this is a Poorvang/ Uttaraang Pradhan Raag.
