Jaijaivanti or Jaijaiwanti is a raga[1] in Hindustani classical music belonging to Khamaj thaat.

According to the Guru Granth Sahib, this raga is a mixture of two other ragas - Bilaval and Sorath. This raga appears in the latter section in Gurbani, as there are only 4 hyms composed by Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth guru. These hyms were added by his son and successor Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth guru in 1705 A.D. This raga has not been mentioned in any ancient Indian classical scriptures on music. It is also not mentioned in the Ragmala at the end of Granth Sahib.[2]
