Bilāwal
Bright, settled and cheerful — the rāga of the plain major scale.
The parent rāga of its thāṭ, using all śuddha swaras. Its identity comes not from accidentals but from its characteristic vakra turns around Ga and Dha, which keep it from sounding like a bare scale.

रागाची गती
Ascent is deliberately crooked — S G R G P rather than a straight run. Nishād is touched lightly on the way to the upper Sa, and the Dha–Ni–Dha–Pa turn in descent is the phrase that names the rāga.
वापरलेले ताल
Kavan baṭariyā gayo śyām
X = सम · 0 = खाली · 2, 3, 4 = टाळी · एक खाना = एक मात्रा · – = लांबवलेला स्वर.
A useful first composition for beginners: the tāl is simple and the rāga has no accidentals, so attention can go entirely to the vakra phrases.
