Raag Bhairav is often referred to as the king of morning Raags. It produces a rich atmosphere. The Rishabh and Dhaivat used here are oscillating which is strongly recommended in this Raag and it makes the Raag mood intense.

Rishabh and Pancham are occasionally skipped in Aaroh like: S G m d P or G m d N S’. But in Avroh, Rishabh and Pancham are Deergh like S’ N d P or P m G m r r S. In Avroh, Gandhar is skipped like: G m r S. Madhyam is an important note.

There is total freedom for the performance in this Raag and can be expanded in all the three octaves. On hearing the following combination, one feels a rich ocean like atmosphere of this Raag:
