Gaud Sarang

Gaud Sarang is a raga in Hindustani classical music that combines characteristics of Sarang and the now extinct raga named Gaud.^[1] Unlike most other members of the Sarang family of ragas, Gaud Sarang is assigned to the Kalyan thaat rather than the usual Kafi.^[2]

The Indian National Anthem's Raga

It is believed that the Indian national anthem "Jana Gana Mana" is sung in the raga Alhaiya Bilaval.^[3] But there is a teevra Madhyam svara being employed in the national anthem too. Raga Alhaiya Bilaval does not employ the tivra Madhyama svara; Alhaiya Bilaval is the raga of all Shuddha Svaras and no other types of svaras.^[4] So some consider the national anthem to be in raag Gaud Sarang.
