Small intro on Classical Ragas

I am going to cover basic classical Ragas to play on Harmonium for beginners. I will share basic details you need to know about these Ragas. These classical Ragas are mainly covered in 'प्रारंभिक' and प्रवेशिका  प्रथम ( Beginner levels) examinations taken by concerned authorities. I will explain these Raga's details in Marathi.

Lets have a look at these classical ragas with the help of following points.


1) Raag Bhoop- 

Firstly let's learn about one of the basic classical Ragas, भूप.  Details of the Raag are as follows. It also represents devotional attitude (भक्तीरस). Very easy and sweet Raga to play for beginners. The famous marathi Songs for e.g. अबीर गुलाल उधळीत रंग, देहाची तिजोरी   based on this Raga.

थाट- कल्याण 

वर्ज स्वर - म  आणि नी 

वादी  स्वर -ग 

संवादी स्वर - ध

जाती - ओडव-ओडव

गायन समय - रात्रीचा पहिला प्रहर 

आरोह आणि अवरोह  सा रे ग प ध सां, सां ध प ग रे सा 

2) Raag Bhairav- 

Secondly, lets know about Raag Bhairav. This is one of the popular and classical Ragas to sung and play on Harmonium. It shows serious as well as devotional attitude. It is sung early in the morning. 

थाट - भैरव

आरोह- सा रे ग म प ध नी सां  अवरोह- सां नी ध प म ग रे सां (ध आणि रे कोमल ) 

3) Raag Bhimpalasi (भीमपलास )-

Thirdly, lets learn about Bhimpalasi. This Raag is in Kafi thaat. Many popular songs in Hindi, Marathi and English too are based on this Raag. For e.g. Tum mile dil khile, Naino mein badara Chhaye in Hindi; in Marathi अमृताहुनी गोड नाम तुझे देवा; in English Ed sheeran's Shape of you is also based on scale of this Raag. (Song information source- classical singer's Anuja kamat's YouTube channel, and aathavanitli-gani site.)

4) Raag Yaman-  

This Raag is from Kalyan Thhat. Sakhi yeri aayi Piya bin Bandish is popular. it is often covered by many western singers too. Beautiful songs like Zara si Aahat hoti hai, Ghar se Nikalte hi are based on this Raag. To conclude, its a beautiful raaga.

वादी- ग

जाती- संपूर्ण

गायन समय - रात्रीचा पहिला प्रहर

By Avdhut
The wait is over. Director S.S. Rajamouli, the man behind global hits like RRR, has dropped the first look, officially titled Varanasi to the World , for his highly ambitious new project. What was known as Globe Trotter is now confirmed to be a massive, time-traveling adventure starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran.  Here is a simple breakdown of the massive spectacle Rajamouli just revealed. 1.

Dhurandhar Trailer breakdown

By Avdhut
The "Real" Spy Story We Wasn't Ready For The trailer for Dhurandhar has arrived, and it is nothing like the polished spy films we are used to. Moving away from the "gentleman spy" image, this film dives straight into the violence and grime of a mission deep inside Karachi. With a release date set for December 5, 2025 , and a massive cast led by Ranveer Singh , this film is shaping up to be the year's biggest cinematic event. Here is everything you need to know about the trailer that has the internet buzzing. 1. Not Just another Spy Movie: The Lyari Connection Unlike the high-flying adventures we are used to, Dhurandhar takes us into the narrow, dangerous lanes of Lyari, Karachi. The film is marketed as being based on "incredible true events," focusing on the "Unknown Men". The mysterious operatives credited with eliminating hostile targets on foreign soil.    The story seems to blend the real-life gang wars of Karachi with high-s...

Dhurandhar: Jaskirat Singh Rangi story

By Avdhut
If you just walked out of the theater after watching Ranveer Singh transform into the lethal Hamza Ali Mazari, you likely have one burning question: Is Jaskirat Singh Rangi a real person? The movie Dhurandhar blurs the lines between history and folklore so effectively that it’s hard to tell where the files end and the script begins. Here is the definitive breakdown of what is true and what a cinematic masterstroke is. The Verdict: Is Jaskirat Real? No. Jaskirat Singh Rangi is a fictional character but represents real intelligence assets. While the internet is buzzing with theories about him being based on the late Major Mohit Sharma (who famously infiltrated terrorist groups under the alias Iftikhar Bhatt), the filmmakers and courts have clarified that the character is fictional.    However, there is a brilliant "Easter Egg" that proves his fictional nature lies within a Cinematic Universe: In Aditya Dhar’s previous blockbuster, Uri: The Surgical Strike, the characte...
