Important notes:-
1This is a type of Bilawal. The combination of Bilawaland Devgiri raag should not understand in this because of Devgiri is not a separate another raag rather than Devgiri Bilawal is known as Devgiri.
2.It’s combination of Shudha Kalyan and Bilawal but there are many views on this subject. Some musican believe that it’s combination of Shudha Kalyan and Bilawal. Some Deshkar and Bilawal and some Bihag and Kalyan’s. In all these votes first vote is considered in which combination of Kalyan and Bilawal raag. According to Vinayak rao patvardhan it’s combination of Shudh Kalyan and Bilawal.
3.Sometimes komal Ni are used with Dhaivat and Pancham in avarohatam swar. As Ni(k)Dha, Ni(k)Dha, Ni(k)Pa.
4.Some musican kept small tiwra Madhayam and believe that it’s raag of Kalyan thaat. It’s better not to use tiwra Madhayam, not to it will be closed to similar raag Yamni Bilawal. For sometimes take less value of tiwra Ma then it can not considered raag of Kalyan that because use of shudh Ma is important in this raag rather than tiwra Ma.
5.Some musican believe that it is raag of Sampurn
– Audav jati. Seven swar are used in aaroh but Dha and Ga are not used in avaroh. If aaroh is considered as audav jati then avaroh also will be audav jati. Because of which place of Madhayam and Nishad in aaroh same place of Ghandar and Dhaivat in avaroh. Mostly Ga Ma Re Ga Pa and Pa Dha Ni Dha Sa* are used in avaroh.
6.From the time of raag this is utarkalin raag but it’s practice is purvang pradhaan. It’s practice is very beautiful in first and middle octaves. This is also the specialty of Shudh Kalyan.
