@@HofTheStage Actually the Pentatonic Scale you talked about would probably be the Raag Bhupali or what she called Raag "Bhoop" in your previous video featuring her. Raag Bihag is 5 in ups and 7 in downs. Raag Bihag : Aroga : C-E-F-G-B-C' Abarohan : C'-B-A-G-F-E-D-C Aroga literally means Going upwards, ascending. And Abaroha or Abarohan means Coming down, descending.

The base note in the background or the background music is actually called Shruti..so based on your voice range you can choose the respective Shruti, for example I can't sing high notes really high cause my vocal cords don't support it, so in this case we choose a lower Shruti and then singing these higher notes becomes easier. So how High or low you can go can change with Shruti.

[@chaitanyakulkarni4276]

a Chalan is an extensive series of note patterns which summarises the development of a particular raga. It discloses the basic grammar of the raga and provides a treatment and melodic context of each tone. Chalan is the movement of a raga or development of a raga

[@atiqulislam3673]

Shuddha means the regular note in a mode/scale. "Komal" means "Flattened" and "Teevra" means "Sharpened" notes. If you consider A as the Shuddha note, then Komal A should be A-(flat) and Teevra A should be A+(sharp). Hope that makes sense.

The major pentatonic scale that you played..CDEGA is called raag Bhoop. Bihag does NOT use the same notes. Raag Bihag is in fact octatonic and uses natural F for ascending notes and F sharp for descending notes. And chalan literally means walk or movement. It is like a key phrase to identify the raag. The key phrase for Bihag in C scale would be E F G B A G F# E, E F E C

[@SS-vs4lo]

The word "chalan" literally means movement. So "chalan of a raag" means the movement of the raag, how the raag moves through the notes. "Thaat" is kind of like a baseline and raags are built up on that baseline composed of some notes. Raags belongs to same Thaats have similarities. I hope that will help you understand raags a bit better.

[@rohittechnoindia]

Really appreciate the effort you are putting in understanding the technicalities of Indian classical music. Just for your reference :- Suddha of any note - Pure Note (e.g. - C, D, E, F, G, A, B,C) Tivra of any note - Sharp of a musical note (e.g. C#, D#, F#, G#, A#) Komal of any note - Flat of a musical note (e.g. (A b, Bb, Db, Eb, Gb))

I and people like me love watching these kind of videos because as Indians we hear a lot about Raags but we don't know what or how to interpret it. Anuja does it for us. And seeing you, who is like us trying to understand gives me a friendly feeling. It's like when your friends studies a difficult subject for a exam and explains it to us.

Chalan (literally) means character of somebody. So in simple term chalan is a sample phrase prescribed for a raag. When you listen to chalan you can feel the real character of raag. Unless you use chalan in composition in right manner you cannot get character of raag in your composition. My way of looking at it. Apologies if it's not very accurate.

[@smitasharma6072]

@@yndesai ........we have often heard the phrase Chaal Chalan.....so while chaal would refer to the walk, chalan would refer to how we should conduct ourselves ! So while you are right , Mayur is not wrong either ! Chaal is the outer personification of the inner moral conduct ! I think that would be the literal meaning . So in any given raag, chalan would be how certain notations , phrases are used to characterize a certain raag, making it unique in itself.

Ah, I love that you are trying so hard to pronounce the Raaga names correctly. I am the same way when I try to pronounce someone's else name, especially. Indian names are syllable based - so they sound exactly as they are written. So, we try to write Indian names the same way in English - if you read it as it is written, you will get very close to what it should sound like. Secondly, you noticed that she wasn't trying to pretend. You notice that because it resonates with you and that is what you do as well - no pretense. You even expose your vulnerabilities before your audience (like looking up a word). Here is the equivalent of the Lydian mode - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalyani_(raga). This also gives you a mapping, roughly, of the notes Sa, Re .. to C, D etc., Keep in mind though that the mapping is relative - one can start the first note "Sa" anywhere on the keyboard and the rest of the notes fall in place due to the relative distance from the base "sa".
