The raaga Sindhubhairavi evokes very happy and pleasant emotions. I didn’t know about this raaga until a few years ago, however, my mom used to sing a couple of beautiful devotional songs that were haunting me long after she passed away and one day I recollected a few lines of one of the songs and hummed them to my guru Smt. Aparna Balaji. She right away said that the raaga is Sindhubhairavi, ever since this raaga has become my favorite raaga.
The scale of this raaga is as follows
S R1 G1 M1 P D1 N2 S
S N2 D1 P M1 G1 R1 S
There are plenty of beautiful krithis, bhajans, movie songs in this raaga. I found a good collection of Illayaraja’s Sindhubhairavi compositions
