Raag Alhaiya Bilawal is produced by using Komal Nishad in Raag Bilawal. It creates a very pleasing and serene atmosphere. However, some people refer Raag Bilawal as Raag Alhaiya Bilawal.
The main characteristic of this Raag is Vadi Swar is Dhaivat but it is not a Nyas Swar. The Nyas Swar are Pancham and Gandhar. Komal Nishad (n) is rendered between two Dhaivats like S’ N D P ; D n D P. Dhaivat-Gandhar Sangati is important and is Taken in Meend. In Avroh, S’ N D P ; D n D P or straight S’ N D P m G R S may be taken.
This is a Uttarang Pradhan Raag and is expandable in Madhya and Tar Saptaks. The following combinations are essential and considered to be the very life and soul of the Raag:
S R G ; G m R G P ; P m G ; R G R S ; G m R G P ; D G m G ; G P D m G ; G P D N S’ ; S’ R’ S’ ; S’ N D P ; D N S’ ; S’ N D P ; D n D P ; D G m G R S ;
