Let's journey back in time to Darbar Festival 2022 when we were graced by the exceptional talents of Purbayan Chatterjee and Rakesh Chaurasia. Accompanied by the tabla maestro Satyajit Talkwalkar and Patri Satish on mridangam, they left London absolutely spellbound.
Raga Bihag is a Hindustani classical raga (also spelled raag) belonging to the Bilawal thaat. It is a melodious Raga for beginners as well as experts. Raga Bihag uses all seven music swars. In Bihag, both the Madhyams (Shuddha & teevra) are used. The Shuddha Madhyam is more prominent; Teevra Madhyama is only used with Panchama in the phrase PA MA' GA MA GA.
