Raga Information:
Raga
Darbari Kanhada is a very
unique raga heard in the last part of the night ragas. The raga was originally
created by Miyan Tansen in
the royal court, or darbar, of Akbar.
Hence, “darbari” (based on the court) is given. The
raga requires andolan or a light shake for komal ga and komal
dha. Another feature is that komal
ga and komal dha are flatter than usual. In playing sitar, instead of
playing the ga or dha
notes, they are bent from re and pa notes respectively. The emotions of this
raga are mostly romantic and joy, although people have heard sad numbers in
this raga before.
