Raag Bhairavi (Hindi: भैरबी) is a Hindustani Classical heptatonic (Sampurna) Raag of Bhairavi Thaat. Traditionally it is a morning raga. In modern times, at least in Khyal Gayaki, it is usually performed as the concluding (finale) piece in concerts. It is the defining raga of its own Thaat.
Carnatic music has a Bhairavi raga which is quite different from the Hindustani raga.
Hanumatodi in Carnatic music has the same scale as the Bhairavi in Hindustani music.

Certain ragas have seasonal associations. But in this regard, Bhairavi may also be treated as an all-time raga, as it is not based on the time of the year but the time of the day at which it is sung.
Raag Bhairavi is typically performed with a peaceful, serious, and occasionally sad mood.
