Raga Pahadi Based Bollywood Songs

The classical songs of our industry have always been magnificent to the ears of the listener. The skillful musicians in our industry carefully crafted each song that came out in the earlier times. Music was the way to unite people, it still is, but in the older days, people usually would sit in groups, chitter-chatter, and listen to songs. That practice is not much seen nowadays; instead, people sing karaoke in groups. Hindi Karaoke With Lyrics has become relatively popular and is still growing. 

One of the most extraordinary things about songs was that all songs were based upon a raga. Similarly, a significant raga was Raga Pahadi. Raga Pahadi is a prominent folk music-based raga. It gets its name from the hilly terrain of the Himalayas. It is similar to two other ragas that exemplify the rich cultural history of folk music: Mand from Rajasthan and Pilu from the Hindi heartland. It's a light raga that sounds more like a 'dhun'. It is often used in Hindi music and may occasionally be used to mimic many echoes. 

So now, here are a few songs that are prominently based on Raga Pahadi.
