Raga Information:
Raga
Pahadi (“mountainous”) is a raga whose structure
resembles a mountain. As it may not seem so obvious just by examining the
elementary raga structures, listening to songs and compositions in Raga Pahadi has a feeling that one is going up and down in swars. Note how the range of swars
in both the aroha and the avaroha
starts unusually low and build its way up to the higher Sa.
People who are not well versed with Indian music will find it interesting on
how a light raga like this have this complexity. In a way, it can be said that
the more notes and a range a raga has, the greater chance of variability
exists.
