Bhimpalasi or Bheempalasi (also known as Bhimpalas or Bheempalas) is a Hindustani classical raga.
Raga Bhimpalasi belongs to the Kafi Thaat.[1]
Theory
The raga has komal Ni and Ga. Rishabh (second) and dhaivat (sixth) are skipped in āroha (ascending) passages, but are given due importance when descending (avroha). Since the scale has 5 notes ascending and all 7 descending, the resulting jāti is Audav–Sampūrṇa.[1] It is performed in the early afternoon, from 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. (the third prahar of the day).[4]
Use of dhaivat and rishabh is symmetrical in that both are approached via the succeeding notes (D from Ṉ, and R from G̱).G̱ is sung with a kaṇ-svara (grace note) of M. Similarly, Ṉ is sung with a kaṇ-svara from S.
- Vadi Swar: M[3][1]
- Samavadi Swar: S[3][1]
- Thaat: Kafi[3][1]
- Pakad or Chalan: Ṉ̣ S M ❟ M G̱ P M ❟ G̱ M G̱ R S[c][3]
