Bhoopali, also known as Bhoop, Bhopali or Bhupali, (Hin: भूपाली / भोपाली) is a Hindustani classical raga. It is a pentatonic scale (uses 5 notes in ascending and descending scale). Most of the songs in this raga are based on Bhakti rasa. Since it uses 5 notes, belongs to the "Audav jaati" of ragas.
The same raga in Carnatic music is known as Mohanam.
Raga Bhoopali, Raga Yaman and Raga Bhairav tend to be the three basic ragas of Hindustani music, learnt first by its students.[1]
Theory
Karhade (2011) explains that raga Bhopali consists of just 5 notes - स रे ग प ध (sa, re, ga, pa and dha).[2] It does not use Ma (also called Madhyam) and Ni (also called Nishadh).[2]
The Introduction consists of two parts - Aroh आरोह (where the notes are simply recited on an ascending scale) and avaroha (where the noles are simply recited on a descending order)[2]
Thereafter, with these same five notes, different combinations are made by the singer, similar to short phrases, also called "chalan".[2]
Aroha & Avaroha
The scale of Bhopali uses only Shuddh swaras.
Vadi & Samavadi
Gandhar - ga
Dhaivat - Dha
Pakad & Chalan
The Pakad (catchphrase that often helps in identifying a raga) is:
S R G R S D1 S R G
or:
S R G R S D1 S R G P G D P G R S
or:
G R P G G R S R D1 S
or:
G R S D1 S R G R P G D P G R S
Some chalans (elaborations of the pakad) are:
- S R G R S D1 S R G
- S R G R S D1 P1
- P1 D1 S R G R G
- S R P G
- G R S R G P
- G P D P D D S’
- P G P D P D S’ R’ G’ R’ G’
- G’ R’ S’ D P G R S
Note: Normally written swaras (individual notes) indicate the middle octave. A swara immediately followed by 1 indicates the mandra saptak (lower octave) and ' indicates the taar saptak (higher octave
A few movements in Bhopali are important to note. There is typically a slide when descending between Sa and Dha, as well as between Pa and Ga. These slides parallel each other and can be used to create a symmetry about how the Swaras are developed. Also, many performers will bring out the Kalyan flavor of Bhopali by using abhasi of the notes Shuddha Ni and Tivra Ma. That is to say, these notes are only vaguely suggested in passing ornaments, not actually sung for long enough for the Swara to become a clear part of the Raga. Some examples would be:
(N1)D1 S
P(m)P(m) D P
where the notes in parenthesis are connected by slides or sung as meend.
Bandish
This bandish is bound with Teentaal (16 beats).
