Hindustani Classical Raagas (Indian Classical Melodies)

Raag Gauri

Raag Gauri is a morning melody and is very similar to Raag Bhairav in scale. Unlike Raag Bhairav, Gauri is fickle ('chanchal') in nature and not at all serious in mood. Many treat Gauri as a Raagini of Raag Bhairav.

There are major two types of Gauri - 1) Shuddha Gauri (Bhairav Thaat) 2) Gauri (Purvi Thaat)

Poorvi Thaat Gauri: Baat chalat chedat hai bihari (Teeental)
Shuddha Madhyam Gauri: Batiya karat rasili kanharava (Teental)
Few other Gauri off-shoots are Lalitagauri, Asagauri etc.
