Patdeep is a Hindustani Classical raag that belongs to Kafi Thaat.Based on thaat kaafi, the raga has a calm and serene mood.
Raag Patdeep is a melodic raag that reflects intense feelings of separation.
When we use shudh Ni in raag Bhimpalasi, it becomes Raag Patdeep. The vadi swar of Bhimpalasi is Madhyam(Ma) whereas Patdeep raag vadi swar is Pancham(Pa).In its Aaroh, the use of Ni is prominent. But sometimes, Nishad(Ni) is skipped in Avroh from Tar Saptak (SA Dha Pa) and Rishabh(Re) receives a Kan of the Saptak.
Also, we can observe the sangati of Pancham(Pa)-Gandhar(Ga).In Avroh, Dhaivat(Dha) and Rishabh(Re) extended as in Raag Bhimpalasi. Aalaps and Taans often started with Mandra Nishad(Ni).
Raga Patdeep belongs to the Dhanashree Ang Raga family. The use of Shudhha Nishad makes this raag brighter than the other Dhanashree Ang family Raags.
It is a kind of new raag that becomes popular in the early 20th century by Kirana Gharana musicians. Bada Khayal, Chhota Khayal, Tarana, Sadra, etc are composed in this raag.
This lighter melody is useful for many an occasion and shows a deep feeling of separation.
