Brindabani Sarang is a\u00a0Kafi\u00a0thaat\u00a0raga. It was created by\u00a0Swami Haridas. The associated mythology being that he brought Lord\u00a0Krishna\u00a0to earth by singing this raga who took the form of an idol which can still be seen in\u00a0Mathura. One of the famous Ragas for the Sarang\u00a0raagang<\/em>, it is a popular\u00a0raag<\/em>\u00a0of this family, together with Shuddha Sarang, and Madhyamad Sarang. The name Brindavani Sarang is a testament to its popularity in the region around Mathura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notes Ga<\/em> and Dha<\/em> are not used in this raga. A characteristic of all Sarang is the way Rishab<\/em> (Re) is sung. The Rishabh is not accorded embellishments, so it is sung without any meen\u1e0d<\/em> of adjacent swara<\/em>s neither with any andolan<\/em>. This preeminence of Re makes the swar<\/em> the vadi<\/em> of this Raga as also for all other varieties of this family (raagang<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another dominant phrase is Sa – Ni – Pa, also used in many other ragas, notably the popular Kanhada family. The distinguishing factor being that the Ni in Kanhada’s S-N-P takes a ka\u1e47<\/em> of the Pa (of uttarang<\/em>), with a ghasee\u1e6da<\/em> effect, whereas the Ni of Sa-Ni-Pa in Sarang is rendered pure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brindavani Sarang’s classification in thaat Kaafi is peculiar as it uses the shuddha form of “Ni” in its Aaroha, whereas the\u00a0komala<\/em>\u00a0form of “ni” and “ga” is the main characteristic of the Kaafi thaat. So it is possible to make a mistake in identifying its thaat as\u00a0Khamaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
