We now move into a selection of morning Ragas, all with nuances and characteristics that a student at this level should be able to grasp: Gurjari Todi, which is very similar to Miya Ki Todi that the student has learnt earlier, except that it has no Pancham, another prakaar of Todi Bhupal Todi and Bilaskhani Todi which is actually more like Bhairavi, and Komal Rishabh Asavari, a Raga that is very similar to Bilaskhani Todi. The principle of their being morning melodies with distinct personalities, that define essential Rasas will be explored through the study of these three Ragas in this course Theory – Review time theory of Ragas, Principles of the formation of a Raga, Gram,Moorchana
