MALLHAR

Raag Description :

​

Raag Hameer is a powerful Raag of Veer-Rasa (fills one with enthusiasm and courage of warriors) and is very dynamic. The combinations G M N D ; D D P alone instantly kindle the melodic form.

​

Employment of Meend and Khatka in arriving at Dhaivat from Nishad adds to tonal beauty. In Hameer, Dhaivat is very powerful and is a Nyas Swar which represents Veer Ras. G m N D ; D D P these are characteristic notes of Hameer. Madhyam Teevra is rendered like: M P G m D.

​

Uttarang can be started like: G m (N)D N S' or P D P P S' or G m D N D S' or M P D N S'. In Avroh, Gandhar is used in Vakra form like M P G m R S or P G m R S. An occasional deployment of Rishabh in Aaroh is permissible for beautification of the melodic form. For example:R G m D P G m R S. In Avroh, rare deployment of Komal Nishad as a Vivadi Swar is permissible.

​
