Raga lesson
Bhairavi
A deeply expressive raga using the four komal swaras Re, Ga, Dha and Ni. Performers often introduce other swaras in lighter or concluding forms, so this page begins with the basic teaching scale.

Avroha · descent
S’ n d P M g r S
A simple practice path
- Sing the komal swaras softly and keep Sa as the tonal home.
- Practise the descending phrase S’ n d P M g r S slowly.
- Compare a plain scale exercise with the phrasing in the available sheets.
