Raag Malhar (Miya Malhar)
Malhar (Miya Malhar) is a Kafi-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 2nd prahar of the night or anytime in rainy season.. It uses all seven swaras on the way up and six coming down, taking a vakra (winding) path rather than a straight line. Phrases centre on Pancham - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.
Swars: Dhaivat Varjya in Avroh. Gandhar Komal, Both Nishads. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.
