Raag Description: Raag Hemant is a very melodious Raag. In Raag Kaushik-Dhwani when Pancham and Rishabh are used in Avroh, Raag Hemant is conceived. In this Raag, Rishabh is used as a straight note like G R S whereas use of Pancham is somewhat Alp and is used either in Meend or as a Kan-Swar like D (P)m or m (P)m.

This Raag creates a deep and soothing atmosphere which may be easily expandable in all the octaves. The following combinations of notes clearly bring out the Raag mood -

S G m D ; P m ; G R S ; ,N ,D ; ,m ,D ,N S ; m (P)m ; G m D N ; m D N S' ; S' R' S' N D ; N S' D P m ; m P m m G m G R S ;
