Raag Dev Gandhar
Dev Gandhar is a Asawari-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 2nd prahar of the day. It uses all seven swaras on the way up and all seven coming down, taking a vakra (winding) path rather than a straight line. Phrases centre on Dhaivat - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Gandhar as samvadi.
Swars: Dhaivat and Nishad Komal. Both Gandhars. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.
