Raga Patdeep
Raga Patdeep is a Hindustani classical raga from the Kafi Thaat.
This flittering lighter melody reflects eagerness implicit intrigue and separation pangs. Use of Nishad Shuddha in raga Bheempalasi makes it raga Patdeep. Vadi swar of Bheempalasi is Madhyam where as raga Patdeep has Vadi Swar as Pancham.
In Patdeep, Nishad is prominent in Aaroh, Pancham-Gandhar Sangati is observed, Nishad is sometimes skipped in Avroh from Tar Shadj (Sa' D P) and Rishabh receives a Kan of the Shadj in Avroh. In Avroh, Dhaivat and Rishabh are extended as in raga Bheempalasi. Aalaps and Taans are often started with Mandra Nishad. Following notes are illustrative of the raga form:
N S ; g m P ; m g (S)R S ; P g m ; g m P D P ; g m P N S' ; N S' D P ; D P m g m g ; m P m g m g (S)R S;
The raga has Komal Ga. It is an Audava-Sampoorna raga, implying that it has 5 notes in Arohana and 7 in Avarohana. Raga Patdeep is formed when pure N is taken instead of komal n in Raga Bhimpalasi. There are Bada Khayals, Chota Khayals, Tarana, Sadra in Patdeep, but rarely traditional Dhrupad-Dhamar compositions which suggests its recent origin. This raga mostly explored in Uttarang.
Raga Patdeep is considered as a raga of recent origin, but it has a unique melodic structure which creates a high emotional appeal and a serious mood of separation. Raga Patdeep is considered to belong to Kafi That as it is sung by 'Dhanashri anga' (although it does not contain Komal Nishad 'n'). Its Melkarta, as per Carnatic Paddhati is 'Gaurimanohari'. It has similarities with raga Bhimpalasi and Dhanashri, still it has a melodic personality distinct from these two ragas.
