Origin
This Raga has it's origin in a Folk tune from Sindh region. It was cultivated as a Raga structure and named so by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan of Patiyala Gharana. So, it is a specialty of Patiyala Gharana. "Kuhar" in Sankrit means mountain range and from this word, the folk tune was called as "Kohari", i.e. a tune from mountains. So, Khan Saheb named it as "Kohari Kalyan" using Kalyan Ang in Poorvang with phrase G P (G)R S.
