Raag Bhairavi,
Port Blair, Andaman
morning.
(
Raag Bhairavi is the most famous of all raagas & is called queen among all raagas because any song composed in it is melodious. Usually in the concerts it is sung at the end by the great pandits because it is so melodious that we would not like listening to any other raag after listening raag Bhairavi.
Raga Bhairavi belongs to Bhairavi Thaat. It is a late morning Raga, and traditionally is the last raga performed at a session. Shuddh Bhairavi uses all the seven notes in the ascending and descending order, Rishabh, Gandhar, Dhaivat and Nishad being komal (flat) and Madhyam being shuddha (full). The derivative ragas out of this structure are grouped under the broad head of Bhairavi Thaat.
The word "Bhairavi" derives from one of the eight forms of the Devi, born in the burial grounds. So fanatically loved and widely embraced is Raga Bhairavi that its elemental imprint is firmly fixed in the mind of even the untutored Indian rasika. Bhairavi is also one of the ten fundamental Hindustani thATs proposed by the great sangeetaggya Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande.)
