Raag Majh If you are interested in Hindi Notation of Raag Manjh: Click here
In Punjab Majh Raag evolved from the folk music tune of Majha area of Punjab. There is no reference of this raga anywhere in Indian music. Raag Majh is a unique gift to Indian music by the Sikh Gurus. While passing through Majh Raag, on its spiritual journey the soul chants painfully, melodiously singing while suffering the pangs of separation and weeps “Maeraa man lochai gur darasan taaee, bilap karae chaatrik kee niaaee”.
Guru Arjan Devji has written Baramaha also in this Raag. Since it is purely a raag of Punjab, the baani of Bhagats is not written in this raag.
