'''Bhairav''' is one of the ten basic [[thaat]]s of [[Hindustani music]] from the [[Indian subcontinent]]. It is also the name of a [[raga]] within this [[thaat]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bor |first1=Joep |last2=Rao |first2=Suvarnalata |title=The Raga Guide: A Survey of 74 Hindustani Ragas |date=1999 |publisher=Nimbus Records with Rotterdam Conservatory of Music |isbn=9780954397609 |page=3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jCnoMgEACAAJ |language=en}}</ref> But there is no connection in the similarity between in the names of the thaat and the raga.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Ragas of the Bhairav thaat make use of Komal Rishabh and Komal Dhaivat. [[Bhairava]] is one of the names of [[Shiva]] especially in his powerful form as a naked ascetic with matted locks and body smeared with ashes. The ragas too have some of these masculine and ascetic attributes in its form and compositions.<br />
<br />
The [[Bhairav (raga)|Bhairav raga]] itself is extremely vast and allows a huge number of note combinations and a great range of emotional qualities from valour to peace. There are many variations based on it including (but not restricted to) [[Ahir Bhairav]], Alam Bhairav, Anand Bhairav, Bairagi Bhairav, Beehad Bhairav, Bhavmat Bhairav, Devata Bhairav, Gauri Bhairav, [[Nat Bhairav]], Shivmat Bhairav.<br />
