Raag Description: Multani is a very melodious Raag belonging to Todi Thaat. But, it does not have any shadow of Todi Ang. It is a Meend Pradhan Raag.
,N S (M)g (M)g (S)r S is the Raag Vachak Swar Sangati of Multani, with Komal Rishabh receiving a Kan of Shadj and Komal Gandhar receiving a Kan of Madhyam Teevra using Meend. As Komal Gandhar receives a Kan of Madhyam Teevra, it is at higher shruti then the regular Komal Gandhar. In this Raag, Rishabh and Dhaivat are Alp and in Avroh, Rishabh always receives a Kan of Shadj.
Pancham is an important note and is rendered like - P (M)P (M)g P ; g M g P ; (P)d (M)P. Aalaps and Taans are often started with Mandra Nishad. This Raag creates a heavy atmosphere and is perfect for devotional compositions. This Raag can be expanded in all the three octaves. Following are the illustrative combinations of Raag Multani:
