Raag Sindhura is a light flittering Raag with resemblance to Raag Kafi. In this Raag, Gandhar and Nishad is Varjya in Aaroh (S R m P D S’) however sometimes Nishad Shuddha is used and Tar Shadj (S’) is approached like m P N N S’, which also differentiates this from Raag Kafi. Also m P g R are the Raag Vachak notes of Raag Kafi, whereas in Sindhura m P ; m g R ; m g R S illustrates the Raag.

This Raag is best suited for Thumri, Tappa, Hori etc. This is a Uttarang Pradhan Raag. The following combinations bring out the melody fully:

S R m P ; D P m P D P m g R ; m g R S ; g R m P D S’ ; S’ R’ S’ ; S’ n D P ; m P D P m g R ; m g R S ; m P N N S’ ; g’ R’ n D S’ ; m P D S’ R’ g’ R’ S’ ; n D P m g R ; m g R S;
