Shujaat Khan - Raga Bairagi/Bhairavi

Shujaat Khan presents ragas Bairagi and Bhairavi. Bairagi suggests progressive detachment from the material world and a tendency towards spiritual pursuits, and the aural experience is characterized by tonal austerity, a melodic structure strongly suggestive of supplication, and a profound sense of peace and tranquility. Bhairavi is played and sung, with an Alap inspired by the famous devotional bandish Bhavani Dayani, in praise of the Mother Goddess, while the gat is a soulful rendition of a devotional song.
