Tune the tanpura.
Begin.
The drone is the ground on which every swara stands. Keep it on while you practice; your ear will learn intonation the moment you stop fighting it.

Bhimpalasi
Bhimpalasi is an audav-sampurna raga of the Kafi thaat, omitting Re and Dha in the ascent. Its plaintive use of komal Gandhar and komal Nishad combined with open meends from Madhyam makes it the paradigmatic raga of afternoon longing and separation.

“A single phrase sung with attention teaches more than an hour of hurried ascents and descents.”
