Bhairavi Raga alapana

Bhairavi is a janya raga in Carnatic music. It is also called a Sampoorna raga , with all the seven notes. However, since it has two different dhaivathams in its scale, and hence is not classified as a Melakarta raga .

Avarohaṇa: S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R2 S

The notes used are chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham & shuddha dhaivatham and kakali nishadham. Note the use of both dhaivathams, chathusruthi (D2) in ārohaṇa and shuddha (D1) in avarohaṇa.

This is the 65th raga of the Melakarta or Sampoorna raga , the elite group.

One of the most popular ragas in Indian classical music. This raga will be taken up normally by an alapana and then build ragam thanam and pallavi to make it a complete kriti. Probably the best kriti could be Shri. Thyagaraja's NIDHI CHALA SUKAMA .
