Raga Khamaj

Raga Khamaj is a melodic framework in Indian classical music, often associated with evening performances and a gentle, romantic, or devotional mood. It features specific notes (called Swaras) and characteristic phrases that evoke a sense of longing and serenity. Khamaj uses all seven notes but emphasizes certain notes and patterns to create its distinctive sound. Its mood is soothing and expressive, making it popular for both devotional and semi-classical compositions. The raga's flexibility allows for improvisation, enabling musicians to explore and portray deep emotions within its peaceful, elegant structure.
