Clear filtersThe raga of spring in full bloom ('bahar'), Kafi-thaat with both nishads and a leaping, budding movement. Basant's lively companion — sung at night in season and freely through vasanta, so it carries a ritu rather than a prahar.
The ancient raga of spring (vasanta), Purvi-thaat, rising straight to the upper tonic where it blossoms. Traditionally sung at night in season — and at any hour once spring arrives — so like Megh it carries a ritu rather than a prahar.
Sources draw on Sangita Ratnakara, Natya Shastra, and Bhatkhande’s Sangeet Paddhati. Dosha mappings from Charaka Samhita / Ashtanga Hridaya.
Not a codified raga but a folk dhun of the Himalayan foothills adopted into light-classical and devotional singing — a Bhoopali-like pentatonic frame taken with free, song-like liberties. Dhun and kirtan singers love its open sweetness; suitable at any hour, so it sits outside the prahar rotation.
Modern ambient instrumentals in an Indian-classical idiom made for romance and rest — sitar, sarangi and drone textures over long, slow arcs. Not codified ragas: no raga is named and the pieces follow mood rather than grammar, so they sit outside the prahar rotation as anytime shringara listening.
