Khamaj Raag is not the Ashyrya Raag (premier) of Khamaj thaat as it is not a sampoorn-sampooran Raag. The first Raag of Khamaj Thaat is Jhinjhoti. However, it is a famous and a very sweet Raag. Lots of folk tunes are based on this raag.
Khamaj
Thaat: Khamaj
Jati: Chhadav-Sampooran (6/7)
Vadi: G
Samvadi: N
Vikrit: Both Nishads
Virjit: R in Aroh
Aroh: S G m P D N S*
Avroh: S* n D P m G R S
Time: Night Second Pehar
Although Khamaj Thaat and Raag are based on seventh flat (Komal nishad), there is a common practice in Indian music to use Tivar (Shudh) Nishad with Raags of Khamaj Thaat. Tivar Nishad can also be added to Khamaaj Raag without breaking any rules. Dhaivat is slightly weak in Aroh, the Raag’s main ascending phrase is G, M, P, N. Pancham or Pa is often Vakar (jumped over) in Avroh (D, M, P, M).

Sat sri akal Sangtar paaji.
We met in Birmingham, and I hope we meet again someday. Can’t tell you how much I got to learn in such a small time sir.
I don’t try to learn music but I use to just read through the blog now and then, although I only understand 1% of it but it helps feel and understand music better when listening to it.
We need more sites like this, really appreciate your effort.
Keep it up and good luck with North- America tour.
