Comments – This is actually two pieces fused together. The first one is in Bihag. It is a fairly straight Bihag, but on the lighter side. I was even struck by a chromatic descension from Pa to Ga; such chromaticisms are rare in classical music. The second half of the song switches to Hamir. However, at the end it switches back to Bahar.

Comments – This is actually a mixture of Hamir and Bihag. One might almost think of this as Hamir with the “Pa Mà Ga Ma Ga” quality of Bihag thrown in. One certainly would not want to use this as an exercise in teaching either Hamir or Bihag, but it is really quite nice to listen to.

Comments – This is a pretty good example of Bihag. True, it does take some liberties here and there, but by Bollywood standards it does not stray far from Bihag.

Comments – Don’t use this to try and figure out the structure of Bihag. It is a nice song, but not a particularly good example of Bihag. It just barely has enough element of Bihag to be included in this list.
