The time between the icy cold winds in winter, and the blazing hot summer. During this time, the temperature is neither too hot, not too cold. And there is usually a lovely breeze that carries the fragrance of nature. The landscape is covered in lush greenery, and flowers such as roses, marigolds, and jasmine start to bloom, filling the air with their sweet fragrance. This is a time for music, for dance, for courtship and romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first introduction to the marvels of the Ragas of Spring was this piece by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xOdcTT3aS9w\"><strong>Pt Bhimsen Joshi \u2013 Koyali Bole<\/strong><\/a> in raga Hindol. \u00a0The power of the Raga cleanses and springs.

In films, I discovered Raga Basant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ANfV8VnzrYs\"><strong>Kuhu Kuho Bole Koyaliya<\/strong> <\/a>\u00a0primarily on Vivid\u00a0 Bharati, and radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ANfV8VnzrYs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Gods of Love<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is said that the God of Love, Kamdev, usually releases his arrows of passion that pierce your heart, and make you fall madly in love. Lord Krishna\u2019s Raas Leela is performed around Brindavan, during Basant. In both stories the festival of colours, Holi, plays a very pivotal plant. As, you can see the season is rather special. And, what better way to express love, joy, passion, renewal, and creation, than through a set of Ragas. One composition that brings together the themes of love, passion, colours, a promise of renewal In <a>Raga Basant is <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mRx9Jmrhuis\"><strong>Piya Sangh Kheloon Holi by Trina Chatterjee<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The 6 Seasons \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026 of Hindustani Classical Music are a cycle of life\/ Basant or Vasant (Spring) Makes way for the blazing hot summer (Grishma). The summer is washed away by the monsoons (Varsha), that makes way for the moody Autumn (Sharad. Then follows the pre-Winter (Hemant) and the frozen, desolate seasons of winter (Shishir). Each of these seasons has a set of Ragas associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rendition by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8W1n5O7eDa0\"><strong>Bhimsen Joshi \u2013 Kaliyan sangh karta rang raliyan<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 brings out the romance of spring, for example \u2013 he flirts amongst the buds, go the lyrics, is based on the spring raga Bahar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8W1n5O7eDa0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Ragas of Spring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ragas that are associated with Spring include &#8211; Basant, Bahar, Hindol, Sohani, Kafi, and variants like Basant Bahar, and Hindol Basant. All are used extensively in music in folk, film, and classical forms. You will find flavours of this Thumri by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7g5Ukf-4kRQ\"><strong>Malini Rajurkar in Raga Sohini\u2013 Rang na Dalo Shyamji<\/strong><\/a> in many Film compositions.

This is usually called a Ragamalika \u2013 a garland of Ragas. \u00a0There are threads of Sohini, Lalit, and Basant Bahar that can be heard clearly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b91U-Nppcz8\"><strong>Rang Pichkari Mat Maro Kanhai<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b91U-Nppcz8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Instrumental Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music of spring is vigorous, flirtatious, and light. It is a popular raga across instruments \u2013 Sitar, Violin, Santoor, Shehnai. This piece by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DVkaCEmd5mY\"><strong>Kala Ramnath on the violin<\/strong><\/a>,in Raga Basant is evocative of being amidst pastoral beauty, with the vibrancy of the spring season, creating a soothing and refreshing musical experience. This vigorous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ACPlFRC4GeA\"><strong>Teental &nbsp;by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan<\/strong><\/a>, on the sarod, in Raga Hindol Hem (a variant of Hindol he composed) brings out the romance in the raga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vocal Renditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hindustani Classical has a very strong tradition in two very distinct forms of music. One is the bhakti rasa \u2013 sung to the Creator. The other is the music of the sabha \u2013 sung to an audience. As such the Basant Ragas are used more in the latter tradition. This rendition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2mIJF-bj_CM\"><strong>by the Dagar Brothers<\/strong><\/a> in the traditional Dhrupad style is an example of the bhakti style; as is this composition by \u00a0While this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-gCtdees5LY\"><strong>Tarana by Rashid Khan<\/strong><\/a> is more in the sabha style. The Tarana is a form of Hindustani classical music that is lively &amp; vigorous in its rhythmic structure. It mainly focuses on using syllables and sounds instead of words. It is typically performed as a standalone piece or as part of a larger performance, such as a khayal or thumri. This is a lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ErdK1um5a6c\"><strong>tarana in Raga Basant<\/strong><\/a> by Manjari Asnare<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-gCtdees5LY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Finale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional Qawalli as practised in the northern parts of undivided India, was also firmly rooted in classical ragas.
