Raag Basant Mukhari is a sweet melodious form among morning Raagas. It is however difficult to render smoothly. The combination of Raag Bhairav as (S r G m) in Poorvang and Raag Bhairavi as (P d n S’) in Uttarang demands both concentration as well as full preparation through intensive training or Riyaz.

The chalan of this Raag is like Bhairav but Rishabh and Dhaivat are not oscillating. This Raag can be expanded in all the three octaves. This Raag creates a soothing atmosphere. Inspite of the name, Raag Basant Mukhari has no relation to Raag Basant and is classified in Bhairav Thaat. This melodic form is rendered through the following combinations of notes:

r r S ; r G ; G G m ; m G m P ; P m ; P d n ; n d P m G ; r G m P m ; n d ; r’ S’ ; d n d P ; P m G m ; r G m P m ; G m r r S ; ,n ,d ,n S ; r G m ; G P m G r S;
