This is my first time hearing this rare raga, and I’m very impressed with its beauty. Ustad Bahauddin Dagar sahab is always incredible to watch or listen to, as his father the legendary Ustad Z. M. Dagar was before him. I’m also happy to see my friend Balachander ji on tampura. ❤❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@MichaelMarko]

This is lovely. And, to think, his family has been musicians, working in dhrupad for 800 years and the last 8 generations (250 years!?!?!?) they have been experimenting!

It's my dream to play the Rudra Veena!

Adbhut

Very very nice. Extremely soothing.

[@fabiancartouche]

Supposedly this raga is particular to the Dagar clan and does in fact feature an absence of both madhyam and pancham. See Dhrupad - Tradition and Performance by Ritwik Sanyal, p. 127.

Soul full rendition

There is a raga in karnatak style by the name 'Niroshta'- This is the very same raga. Its Shankarabharana minus 'P' n 'M'- It can be Kalyani minus 'P' and 'M' too - There is a beautiful composition Rajarajaradhithe. Check it out. This raga can be called Adhbut Bilawal too probably

Rich and evocative..

kay bat hai

[@jvsuryanarayana]

This Raga omits both Ma and Pa and both Ma and Pa involve the lips for their pronounciation. Sa Ri Ga Da Ni are not labials. So the Raga in the Carnatic style is named "Niroshta", non labial. In the very very leisurely Dhrupad Style of Hindustani music it is not really difficult to play this Raga but the test is when the Drut or Ati Drut stage is reached.

There is an interesting legend about Adbhut Kalyan (whether it is true or not, who knows?). Adbhut means strange, weird. It is clearly a weird, a strange raag, way out of the mainstream of ragas. I don’t know of any other raag where madhyam and pancham are totally absent. Anyway, legend has it that once an Ustaad was challenged by one of his pupils, for a competition. Pupil wanted to show that he was better than the Ustaad. The unfortunate part for Ustaad was that it was probably true. The Ustaad had taught the pupil everything he knew, he had not held anything behind. So the pupil had the same knowledge as Ustaad, he was also a very accomplished singer and Ustaad would have a difficult time in defeating him. So on the spur of moment, to confuse the pupil, Ustaad came up with this raag (Adbhut Kalyan). His hope was that the pupil will become so confused by listening to this weird, out of ordinary raag that he won’t know how to respond. I don’t know what the outcome was, but the legend is certainly fascinating.

There actually is a very light M but no P-- I think itis not possible to have a Raga without both M and P

[@panchamkauns]

Fascinating raga, Kalyan without M and P?
