Bhairavi

Jun 17, 2025

Raag Bhairavi is one of the most popular and versatile raags in Hindustani classical music. It is often performed at the end of a concert, known as a “samapti raag”, because of its peaceful and conclusive feeling. Bhairavi expresses devotion, peace, and longing, and is used in classical, semi-classical, and light music like Bhajans, Thumris, Dadra, and film songs.
