Description

It is believed that Raag Bahaar has its origin in Kafi Thaat. In this Raag, as Re in Aaroh and Dha in Avaroh are prohibited, its class is believed to be Shaadav – Shaadav (षाडव-षाडव). In this Raag, Komal Gandhaar and both Nishad are sung. Here, Ma is Vaadi (वादी) and Saa is Samvadee (सम्वादी). This Raag is sung in the midnight. Though, the ideal time for singing Raag Bahar is midnight, yet this is sung and played in every hour in the season of spring (Basant Ritu) . Therefore, this Raag is sung as per the mood of the season. Most of the songs in this Raag illustrate the beauty of the spring season. Raga Kafi has a direct lineage with the folk music of India. Folk music in Tappa, Hori, Dadra, Kirtan and Bhajans from different parts of India have been composed in this raga form for ages.
