Raag Description: It is a flittering light melody which sounds natural but is rendered with much difficulty. No Bada-Khayals are composed in this format. Mostly light entertainment types dominate the compositions. Bhajans and Ghazals are aptly composed in this Raag. The basic format belongs to the folk tune of Rajasthan, which is the sung during festive occasions like birthdays, marriages etc.
