Kalyani may refer to:
Basavakalyan is a town in Bidar District of the state of Karnataka, India, and was historically known as Kalyan.
Basavakalyan's history dates back to 3000 years with its name being mentioned in Guru Charitra.
Before India's independence, Basavakalyan was called Kalyani. After independence and division of states on linguistic basis in 1956, Kalyana was renamed as BasavaKalyana in memory of Vishwaguru Basavanna, a great revolutionary who established Anubhava Mantapa (spiritual democracy) in 12th century India.
Basavakalyana was ruled by Western Chalukyas, Kalachuris, Yadavas of Devagiri, Bahamani Sultanate (Bidar, Gulbarga), Bidar Sultanate, Bijapur Sultanate, Mughals and Hyderabad Nizams.
It was the royal capital of the Western Chalukya (Kalyani Chalukyas) dynasty from 1050 to 1195. Someshvara I (1041-1068) made Kalyana as his capital, recognised as Kalyani Chalukyas to differentiate with Badami Chalukyas. Later ruled by Someshvara II, Vikramaditya VI, Someshvara III, Jagadhekamalla III and Tailapa III. Before this Manyakheta was their capital. During the 10th-12th centuries ruled nearly half of India, most of the western Deccan and South India. King Vikramaditya VI had scholars in his court such as Someshwara, Bilhana (poet of Kashmir) and Vigyaneshwara (legal expert).
Kalyani is a 1940 Hindi social film directed by Premankur Atorthy. It was produced by Mansukh Pictures. The music direction was by H. C. Bali. The cast of the film included Rattan Bai, W. M. Khan, Ghulam Mohammed, Jamshedji and Mukhtar.

[Verse 1]
And this is a song for those who need hope,
For those who can't see it,
though there's more than enough
And it's found in His everlasting love.
This is a song for those who feel weak,
For those who cant speak...
I'll be the words you need.
Just open your heart and agree.
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all part of a plan,
We've got a purpose.
We've got a destiny.
We're all headed somewhere and we're going soon
'cause yeah! We choose to believe.
[Chorus]
Halleluiah! Raise the banner high!
We're gonna let the whole world know!
Hosannah! He's coming like fire in the sky
to take His children home.
Halleluiah! Raise the banner high!
We're gonna let the whole world know!
Hosannah! He's coming like fire in the sky
to take His children home.
[Verse 2]
And this is a song for the broken spirit,
Whose wounds have sealed, yet you still feel it.
The pain is a weapon if you know how to use it.
And this is a song for those who are hated,
For those who have traded all of this world
to keep your soul.
You're goin through the fire but you're comin out gold!
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all part of a plan,
We've got a purpose.
We've got a destiny.
We're all headed somewhere and we're going soon
'cause yeah! We choose to believe.
[Chorus]
Halleluiah! Raise the banner high!
We're gonna let the whole world know!
Hosannah! He's coming like fire in the sky
to take His children home.
Halleluiah! Raise the banner high!
We're gonna let the whole world know!
Hosannah! He's coming like fire in the sky
to take His children home.
[Bridge]
And love covers a multitude of sins
It's why it always wins,
Its mercy never ends.
It's sooner than we think
We've gotta hold fast,
The confession of our faith...
Cause everything else, will all fade away,
While love and justice remains, it'll be okay,
We've just got to believe
that we're all a part of the victory,
And we've got a reason to sing!
[Chorus]
Halleluiah! Raise the banner high!
We're gonna let the whole world know!
Hosannah! He's coming like fire in the sky
to take His children home.
Halleluiah! Raise the banner high!
We're gonna let the whole world know!
Hosannah! He's coming like fire in the sky
