Comments – If you are a music student, I would not use this song for anything. It is a nice song, but not one to serve as an example of any rag. It mostly resembles Bhupali, but with strong elements of Pahadi.
The obvious question is “If it is so close to Bhupali, then why categorise it as Pahadi? The answer is very simple. Pahadi will tolerate large amounts of Bhupali, much better than Bhupali will tolerate even small amounts of Pahadi.
