Raga Bihag

Raga Bihag is the raga of the night in its most warm and intimate aspect — not the austere darkness of Malkauns or the gravity of Darbari, but the gentler night of quiet and rest. Its rasa is romantic in the broadest sense: warm, emotionally open, quietly content. Bihag uses both the natural and the sharp Madhyam, which gives it a flexibility and richness that many other night ragas lack. On sitar, Raga Bihag meditation music has a glow to it — a warmth that makes it well suited to the hours between dinner and sleep, when the mind is still active but the body is beginning to release the day. It is effective as a focus companion for evening reading, journaling, or light creative work. The Raga Soundscapes Bihag soundscape is designed to hold that late-evening quality — present, warm, unhurried.
