The word Bandish is applicable only in a Raga presentation, be it Dhrupad, Khyal or Thumri. Knowing maximum number of Bandishes in different Taalas, gives a much clear picture of the Raga. The lyric, traditional or newly composed, which brings out the details and uniqueness of the Raga, composed in a definite time cycle (Taala) is called a Bandish (वंदीश). The elaborated depiction of the Raga is called Aalaap in Dhrupad singing. The first précised but complete introductory Chalan is called Aaochar in Khyal singing. The way, we move, in Raga to bring out the beauty, the colour, the essence, are called, Aarohee, Avrohee, Chalan of the Raga. Comparatively less important resting points are called Apanyaas. Resting points in a Raga which brings a sense of completeness are called Nyas. Similarly in a presentation of a Raaga, it is expected that at least one fourth of the total performance time, should be given to project Vaad-Sambaad (ब।द – सम्ब।द) as the resting points. As a living human being, one has to take rest almost one third or one fourth of a day. Two consecutive Swaras (musical notes) cannot be omitted simultaneously. This Vaad-Sambaad (ब।द – संब।द) relationship between the above – mentioned swaras gets almost the equal importance to that of Sa – Pa or Ma – Sa Sambaad (सम्ब।द).Ī traditional Raaga must have at least five notes, and must be performed by at least four/five well known musicians of different styles. Some times Vaad-Sambaad (ब।द – संब।द) relationship may be established between Ma –Sa, Ga – Ni, Re – Dha, Dha – Ga, Ni and teevra Maa, etc. ![]() Saa, and its harmonic positions (ब।द – संब।द) must have to be there. ![]() The members can be from 3 to 12 in numbers. Ragas seem to be living for their different kinds of movement. ![]() Raga is a soundscape with different colours, shades, moods and fragrance, keeping the protocols of tradition.
