Raag Bhairav (Hindi: भैरव/भैरों) (Urdu: بیرو) (Sindhiبھےرو ) is a Hindustani Classical heptatonic (Sampurna) Raag of Bhairav Thaat. Traditionally it is a morning raga. In modern times, typically in Khyal Gayaki, it is usually performed as the beginning piece in concerts. It is the defining raga of its own Thaat.
Raag Kalingada in Hundustani and Raag Mayamalavagowla in Carnatic music have the same scale as Raag Bhairav in Hindustani music, although the moods they create can be quite different due to the way they are expounded.
Writing about the musical theory of Hindustani music is fraught with complications. Firstly, there have been no set, formal methods of written notation. Secondly, Hindustani music is an aural tradition, and therefore writing is not an essential part of learning. However, Bhairav is a morning raag, commonly sung at the end of the concert. The raag is grave in mood and suggests seriousness, introversion as well as devotional attitude. By the mature deep temperament of this raag the musician expect to make the mood sombre. It shares the notes with Ahir Bhairav which has a sombre temperament.
