Raag Gaud Malhar is a very popular Raag as it is very impressive and melodious. The Raag is also called Gaud by some musicians. This Raag is a combination of Gaud Ang, Shuddha Malhar Ang and Bilawal Ang. This raag employs Shuddha Nishad in Aaroh and Komal Nishad in Avroh.
In Aaroh, Poorvang starts with Gaud Ang like: S R G m ; m G m ; G R G (R)S ; R G m P m then this Raag makes its way into Malhar Ang like: S R G m ; m (m)R ; (m)R (m)R P; m P D (n)P ; G P m.
