Bhimpalasi : Introduction
Bhimpalasi is a Hindustani classical raga.
Behavior
The madhyam (fourth) is the most important note – an important ‘nyaas’ sthaan (note for rest) with emphasized elaboration around this note – S g M, M g M, g M P, M P g M P (M) g (M) g M… The Rishabh (second) and the Dhaivat (sixth) are skipped in Aarohi (ascending) passages, but are given due importance when descending (Avrohi). Use of the Dhaivat and Rishabh is symmetric and both are approached via the succeeding notes (D from n, and R from g).
