Raag Bhairavi
Bhairavi is a Bhairavi-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 1st prahar of the day or sarv kalik. It uses all seven swaras on the way up and all seven coming down. Phrases centre on Madhyam - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.
Swars: Rishabh, Gandhar, Dhaivat, Nishad Komal. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.
