Ram Narayan performs Jog at the Shiraz Arts Festival in Iran in the 1970s
Jog is a Raga in Hindustani classical music. It is one of the more popular ragas appearing often in films. Sometimes, experts assign this raga to be a member of Kafi thaat.
Raga Jog omits the second and the sixth intervals, Ri and Dha, making it pentatonic, or Audav in nature. In ascending, it uses Shuddha Ga, and in descending, it uses Komal Ga. It takes Raga Tilang for its base which itself is derived from Khamaj.
The Arohana is: Sa Ga Ma Pa ni(komal) Sa'
The Avarohana is: Sa' ni(komal) Pa Ma Ga(shuddha) Ma ga(komal) Sa
In the notes of the Western scale in the key of C, these roughly correspond to C, E, F, G, B♭, C; C, B♭, G, F, E, F, E♭, C.
Time of the Day
The raga is played during the late evening.
