Raag Description: This Raag is a sweet mellifluous combination of both Madhyams (Shuddha and Teevra), requiring critical attention to the Komal Dhaivat employed. This note is a shruti in between Shuddha Dhaivat and commonly played Komal Dhaivat of Raag Todi. It is for this reason that its correct position should be rigorously practiced after learning it from the Guru (Gurumukh). Shuddha Madhyam (m) is very prominent in this Raag along with Gandhar. The use of Teevra Madhyam and Shuddha Madhyam, one after the other (M m) gives this Raag a unique character.
The following combinations help in fuller menifestation of its real character that is effective in producing Bhakti and Karuna Rasas:
