Raag Hameer


Swaras Rishabh & Pancham forbidden  (varjya) in Aaroh, Both Madhyam, rest all Shuddha Swaras
Jati Audhav - Sampurna Vakra (occasional deployment of komal Nishad n in Avroh)
Time (9 PM - 12 Night) : 2nd Prahar of the Night : Ratri ka Dwitiya Prahar
Vishranti Sthan S D S' - S' D P R
Mukhya-Ang P - G m ND s - D P - G m P G m SR S
Aaroh S G m ND - N D S'
Avroh S' N D P - M P D P - G m P G m R S

Vishesh : This is a powerful melody of Veer-Rasa (fills one with enthusiasm & courage of warriors) and is very dynamic. The combinations G M ND - D D P alone instantly kindle the melodic form. The notes bear a strong Shadja-Pancham relationship in 13 Shruti-span consonance called Shadja-Pancham Bhav e.g. S-P - R-D - G-N - M-S'.
The much quoted and misused framework of Vadi-Samvadi notes in a Raag is not effective in Raag delineation and besides the Mukhya Ang the S-P , S-M & P-R , R -P Bhavas are more powerful in this respect.
Employment of Meend and Khatka in arriving at Dhaivat from Nishad adds to tonal beauty. The following combinations illustrate the Raag effectively.

R G m D P G m R S In such fashion an occasional deployment of Rishabh in Aaroh is permissible for beautification of the melodic form.
