Megh
मेघ
An ancient raga of the Malhar family that invokes the monsoon cloud — pentatonic, with heavy meend on Re and komal Ni. Tradition allows it at any hour during varsha, so no single prahar is assigned here.

Dosha effect
Vata -1 · Pitta -1 · Kapha ±0(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
The rain raga — its heavy meend on Re and komal Ni cools like a cloudburst, easing pitta and settling the pre-storm restlessness of vata.
