Exploring Raaga Bilahari on GeoShred

By Mahesh Raghvan

Raaga Bilahari is a sweet sounding Raaga, which is a combination of Mohanam and Shankarabharanam. In this session, we will be exploring the possibilities of playing and expressing it on the iPad app GeoShred.


We shall be going through the following:

  • Arohanam/Avarohanam
  • Playing simple alapana phrases
  • Learning a simple Bilahari tune with Gamakas on GeoShred


Participants will be learn to play simple phrases of the raaga, along with a melody and shall also be given a custom backing track that they can use for practice.
