Raga Information:
Raga
Multani is a very unique raga in its family of Todi ragas. Unlike most Todi
ragas, this one is in the evening right before the night. The differences are
far more significant that timings. In the avaroha,
the komal re is incredibly flattened that it sound so
close to Sa. It is even flatter than Gujari Todi or Raga Todi. Another unique feature is that unlike most Todi ragas, the stress is on Sa
and Pa, which has a greater harmonic strength than the ga
and dha felt in Todi and Gujari Todi. Hence, this raga has
different expression than Todi’s.
