Brindavani Sarang
Brindabani Sarang is a Hindustani classical raga.
Theory
Brindabani Sarang is a Kafi thaat raga. The notes Ga and dha are not used in this raga. Its origin from thaat Kaafi is peculiar as it uses the shuddha form of "ni" in its Aaroha, whereas the komala form of "ni" and "ga" is the main characteristic of the Kaafi thaat. So it is possible to make a mistake in identifying its thaat as Khamaj.
