Explanation

The key difference between Shankarabharanam (28th mela) and Kalyani (65th mela) is in the madhyama (Ma) note. Kalyani uses prati madhyama (M2 - the higher variety), while Shankarabharanam uses shuddha madhyama (M1 - the lower variety). All other notes are identical between the two ragas.
