Clear filtersDeeply emotive afternoon raga, widely performed for its devotional bhakti-shringara bhava. Kafi-family with audava aaroha, sampurna avaroha.
Sources draw on Sangita Ratnakara, Natya Shastra, and Bhatkhande’s Sangeet Paddhati. Dosha mappings from Charaka Samhita / Ashtanga Hridaya.
A twentieth-century raga now firmly in the concert canon — komal Ga with tivra Ma over shuddha Re and Dha, sweet and faintly wistful ('madhu' — honey). Sung in the late afternoon; its attributions follow modern pedagogy rather than old shastra.
The definitive fourth-prahar raga of the Todi thaat — komal Re and Dha touched only in descent, tivra Ma blazing at its centre. Austere and inward, it carries the heat of late afternoon turning toward evening.
