Contents |
The raga emerges from Bilawal thaat.
The raga is of Audav-audav nature, i.e, both its arohana (ascent) and avarohana (descent) use only five notes. All the swaras used are shuddha. Gandhar and Nishad are not used. It is a Purvanga pradhan raga, with the lower notes on the saptak (octave) being used more frequently.
Arohana: Sa Re Ma Pa Dha Sa.
Avarohana: Sa Dha Pa Ma Re Sa.
Pakad: Re Ma Pa Dha, Ma Re.
The vadi swara is Ma, and the samvadi is Sa.
The raga is to be sung during late night.
