A Raaga Mala or Raagmala literally means a 'garland of Ragas, or musical melodies'. "Mala" means "garland", while "Raga" is a "musical composition or mode". In the performance one Raaga (here Bhairavi) is chosen as the main raaga, melting into other raagas and come back always again to Bhairavi.

Excerpt from: metmuseum.org:
A ragamala, translated from Sanskrit as "garland of ragas," is a series of paintings depicting a range of musical melodies known as ragas. Its root word, raga, means color, mood, and delight, and the depiction of these moods was a favored subject in later Indian court paintings. The celebration of music in painting is a distinctly Indian preoccupation. Ragamalas were first identified as a specific painting genre in the second half of the fifteenth century, but their ancestry can be traced to the fifth- to seventh-century Brihaddeshi treatise, which states: "A raga is called by the learned that kind of composition which is adorned with musical notes . . . which have the effect of coloring the hearts of men." Often, the mood, or raga, is also written as poetry on the margins of the painting. These works thus evocatively express the intersections of painting, poetry, and music in Indian court art.

The unifying subject of a ragamala is love, which is evoked as a range of specific emotions (rasa) that have a corresponding musical form. In paintings these are typically the trials and passions of lovers, which are explored in both sound (raga) and analogous imagery, with a raga generally understood to denote the male protagonist and a ragini the female. These musical modes are also linked to six seasons—summer, monsoon, autumn, early winter, winter, and spring—and times of the day, dawn, dusk, night, and so on.

Bhairavi:
„Bhakti Rasa - Devine call to God
Bhairavi, through its combinations of notes, can convey despair and hope. This unique nature of the Raag can exploring finding faith in the divinity in the darkest of times.
Veera Rasa – courage Bhairavi lends the inspirational notes to uplift the spirit of the listener, finding hope and be faithful.

Shringara Rasa or the emotion of love and passion is another mood expressed through Bhairavi. The notes of the Raag can convey the range of this feeling - from lighthearted lamentations or longing for the beloved to the despair that infatuation can bring. It can express adoration of the beloved, the sweet complaint and pain of love. On the other hand, it conveys infatuation towards the loved one.
Bhairavi can also convey the despair of separation and longing.“ (from shankarmahadevanacademy.com)

On a deeper level this longing is the true longing for union with the devine..and true love will mirror that separation is only an illusion..

The raga can generate the Rasa of both bliss and melancholy.
Raga Bhairavi generates a romantic, peaceful, serious, and occasionally a sad mood. Actually, stimulating the sentiment of sadness is the bliss of Bhairavi : “Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.”
Enjoy and allow yourself to dive deep into this amazing Raga..and the excursions to the other Ragas..

🎧TIP: Use headphones or speakers for full enjoyment.
