About Patdeep

Patdeep gives shuddha Ni weight and can rest on Pa. Its direct ascent leaves out Dha, and oscillated komal Ga and the glide from Ma Pa down to Ga are characteristic.

How it moves

AUTRIM says Dha is left out of the direct ascent.

  • AUTRIM, Patdip page, opening description

AUTRIM gives the descent as Sa' Ni Dha Pa or Ni Sa' Dha Pa, and the closing movement includes Ma ga ~ Sa Re Sa.

Learner focus

Keep weight on Ni, oscillate komal Ga, and touch Sa when you sing Re.

Caution

Without the Ga oscillation and the Sa touch on Re, a phrase may sound like Pilu. Using tivra Ma instead of shuddha Ma gives Madhuvanti.

Study prompts

Short exercises that restate what the cited sources say.

  1. Sing Ni Sa ga Sa Re Sa, touching Sa around Re.
  2. Sing Dha Ma Pa, glide down to komal Ga, and oscillate it.
  3. Without the Ga oscillation and the Sa touch on Re, a phrase can suggest Pilu. Sing a phrase both ways and listen.
