Darbārī Kānaḍā
Grave, majestic and unhurried — the courtly rāga of Miyān Tānsen.
Darbārī is sung in a slow, weighted vilambit where the komal Gandhār oscillates in a broad, slow āndolan. It rewards patience above all: a single phrase may take a full āvartan to unfold.
अयं भागः भवतः भाषायां न अस्ति — आङ्ग्लभाषायां दर्शितः।
आरोहः, अवरोहः, पकडश्च
स्वरलिपिसंकेतः — कोमलस्वराः लघ्वक्षरैः, तीव्रमध्यमः M′, मन्द्रसप्तकः ˌ, तारसप्तकः ′ इति।
रागस्य गतिः
Movement is vakra and descending in character. The komal Ga is never held straight — it is approached from Ma and given a slow oscillation. Komal Dha likewise carries a gentle āndolan. Ni is used to lift back to Sa from the mandra saptak, and Pa acts as the second resting point.
प्रयुक्ताः तालाः

X = समः · 0 = खाली · 2, 3, 4 = ताली · एकं कोष्ठं = एका मात्रा · – = विलम्बनम्।
Learn the sthāyī first at a very slow laya so the āndolan on komal Ga settles in the voice before any taan work begins. The mukhḍā lands on Sa on the sam.
