The four Ragas, Desi, Bhatiyar, Ahir Bhairav and Vibhas are all morning Ragas and will be studied in the context of their distinctive features. Desi and Bhatiyar are both Vakra Ragas, their characteristic movement has twisted ascending and descending Swara patterns and are identified by specific Swara phrases. Vibhas is sung either with a Komal Dhaivat or a Shuddha Dhaivat and is then, which makes it a completely different entity but with the same name. Ahir Bhairav is a straightforward Raga in comparison, but with note placements that are different from the parent Raga Bhairav that have to be achieved skillfully. The comparative study of these four Ragas with similar Ragas highlights the nuanced evolution of the Raga Dhaari system of Indian classical music.
