Darbari Kanada

दरबारी कानड़ा

Traditionally credited to Miyan Tansen in Akbar's court, Darbari Kanada is a grave, stately raga employing heavy andolan on komal Gandhar and komal Dhaivat. Its slow, deliberate unfolding in the lower octave, with the characteristic vakra 'g M R S', is considered the summit of the khayal tradition.
