Bhimpalasi or Bheempalasi (also known as Bhimpalas or Bheempalas) is a Hindustani classical raga.

Raga Bhimpalasi belongs to the Kafi Thaat.[1]

Theory

Aarohana: Ṉ̣ S G̱ M P Ṉ Ṡ[lower-alpha 1][2][3][1]
Avaroha: Ṡ Ṉ D P M G̱ R S[lower-alpha 2][2][3][1]

The raga has komal Ni and Ga. Rishabh (second) and dhaivat (sixth) are skipped in āroha (ascending) passages, but are given due importance when descending (avroha). Since the scale has 5 notes ascending and all 7 descending, the resulting jāti is Audav–Sampūrṇa.[1] It is performed in the early afternoon, from 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. (the third prahar of the day).[4]

Use of dhaivat and rishabh is symmetrical in that both are approached via the succeeding notes (D from Ṉ, and R from G̱).G̱ is sung with a kaṇ-svara (grace note) of M. Similarly, Ṉ is sung with a kaṇ-svara from S.

Vadi Swar: M[3][1]
Samavadi Swar: S[3][1]
Thaat: Kafi[3][1]
Pakad or Chalan: Ṉ̣ S M ❟ M G̱ P M ❟ G̱ M G̱ R S[lower-alpha 3][3]
