Which one of the following Carnatic music ragas is similar to Raga Bilawal in Hindustani music?
Explanation
Raga Bilawal in Hindustani classical music corresponds to the Ionian mode or the major scale in Western classical music, consisting of all natural notes (Shuddha swaras). The equivalent raga in the Carnatic music system is Dheera Shankarabharanam (often simply called Shankarabharanam).
- Nat Bhairavi corresponds to the Asavari thaat in Hindustani music.
- Hanumatodi corresponds to the Bhairavi thaat.
- Kamavardhini (also known as Pantuvarali) corresponds to the Purvi thaat.
Thus, Dheera Shankarabharanam is the correct answer.
