{{Hindustani Classical Music}}<br />
'''Ahir Bhairav''' is a [[Hindustani classical music|Hindustani classical]] ''[[raga]]''. It is a mixture of [[Bhairav (raga)|Bhairav]] and the ancient, rare ''raga'' [[Ahiri]] or Abhiri,<ref name="Bor 1999">Bor 1999</ref> or perhaps a mixture of Bhairav and [[Kafi (raga)|Kafi]].<ref>Kaufmann 1968, p.250</ref><br />
<br />
== Theory ==<br />
<br />
=== Arohana and avarohana ===<br />
<br />
[[Arohana]]: {{svaraH|S|r|G|m|P|D|n|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
<br />
[[Avarohana]]: {{svaraH|S'|n|D|P|m|G|r|S|foot=yes}}<br />
<br />
'''Key:'''<br />
<br />
S, G, M, P, D: ''shuddha'' (natural);<br />
<br />
r, n : ''komal'' (flat);<br />
<br />
''Pa'' and ''Sa'' are sometimes avoided in ascending Arohan. The descent can be direct, but is often expressed as S' N d P m, G m <sup>G</sup>r ~ S with a slight oscillation on ''komal re'' to express the character of Bhairav.<ref name="Bor 1999" /><br />
<br />
=== Vadi and samavadi ===<br />
<br />
[[Vadi (Hindustani classical music)|Vadi]]: {{svaraH|m}}<br />
<br />
[[Samavadi]]: {{svaraH|S}}<br />
<br />
=== Pakad or Chalan ===<br />
S, r G M, G M r, ṇ Ḍ, ṇ r S<br />
<br />
| ''komal Ni, shuddha Dha, komal Ni, komal Re, Sa'' | is the most characteristic run, where the ''Ni'' and ''Dha'' belong to the lower octave and the ''Re'' and ''Sa'' are from the middle octave. Some ''andolan''/oscillation is typically at the flattened second (''komal re'').<br />
<br />
=== Organization and relationships ===<br />
It may include impressions of Kafi. The image of Ahir Bhairav is easily maintained with the characteristic passage ṇ Ḍ ṇ/r~ S<ref name="Bor 1999" /> with the characteristic Bhairav ''andolan'' (oscillation) on ''komal re''. Sometimes ''shuddha ni'' is used in the lower [[octave]] to emphasize the Bhairav character.<ref>Kaufmann 1968, p.251</ref><br />
