Compare raags

Use comparison to see where two raags share notes but diverge in behavior. This is a study aid, not a substitute for teacher review.

Comparison status

This pair can be compared side by side, but it is not a modeled confusion guide yet. Treat the result as a worksheet prompt.

Yaman

Hear the pull of Ni-Re-Ga and keep tivra Ma stable. Do not make it sound like a plain major scale exercise.

Aroha: Ni Re Ga Ma(tivra) Dha Ni Sa
Avaroha: Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma(tivra) Ga Re Sa
Vadi: Ga
Samvadi: Ni

Bhairav

Treat komal Re and komal Dha with weight. If they are rushed, Bhairav loses its authority.

Aroha: Sa re Ga Ma Pa dha Ni Sa
Avaroha: Sa Ni dha Pa Ma Ga re Sa
Vadi: Dha
Samvadi: Re
