Raag Mand is a flittering light Raag which sounds natural but is rendered with much difficulty. No Bada Khayals are composed in this format. Mostly light entertainment types dominate the compositions. Bhajans and Ghazals are aptly composed in this Raag. The basic format belongs to the folk tune of Rajasthan, which is the sung during festive occasions like birthdays, marriages etc.
Illustrative combinations that are best rendered with Khatkas & Murkiyan are
