The Gamaka Patterns of notes are important in the difference. In shankarabharanam, one gives more gamakam (or oscillation) to R, M and D, while keeping N and G relatively plain. The reverse is what happens in Kalyani

Any raga depend on the seven notes . A change in a single note that is swara in arohana avarohana differentiates various ragas. Like that the difference in Kalyani and sankrabaranam exist in Madhyamam. Not like my friend teacher who has answered that the difference lies in the gamakam, the total structure of the ragam itself is different in kalyani and sankarabaranam. Gamakam can be given to any raga . Gamagam adds the beauty of a raga. Only when it is explained in classes by singing differentiating , one can understand the difference while learning . rgrds suganthi read less

Kalyani is a best example for prati madyama raaga and In shankarabharanam, one gives more gamakam (or oscillation) to R, M and D, while keeping N and G relatively plain. Pretty much the reverse is true in Kalyani
