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.

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 

संवादी - नी 

जाती- संपूर्ण

गायन समय - रात्रीचा पहिला प्रहर
