In Jainism, Stavan refers to devotional hymns or songs that praise the Tirthankaras, Arihants, Siddhas, and other revered figures. These are an important part of Jain worship and are often sung in temples and during religious gatherings.

Malkauns is a classical Indian raag (melodic framework) known for its deep, meditative, and devotional mood. Many Jain stavans are traditionally composed or sung in various classical raags, including Malkauns, to enhance their devotional impact.
