Hem-Behag is a late night (samay) raga in North Indian classical music that was composed by Ustad Baba Allauddin Khan.

Origin

Hem-Behag has principal roots in a more common raga, Bihag. Hem-Behag or Bihag takes aspects of Raga Hemant. The raga centers around shudha Madhyam (vadi) and Ni (samavadi), but this is variable.

Structure

  • Arohana: Ni Sa Ga Ma(shuddh) Pa Ni Sa
  • Avarohana: Sa Ni Dha Ma(shudha)Pa Ma Ga Ma Re Sa
