Darbar (pronounced darbār) is a ragam in Carnatic music. The raga is a comparatively recent entry to Carnatic Music, possibly in the earlier part of the 18th century.[2][3][4]

Structure and lakshana

It is a Vakra ragam derived from the 22nd Melakarta rāgam Kharaharapriya. Nishadham and ghandharam used as long in the Avarohana. Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):

The notes used are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham, kaisiki nishadham.

Darbar resembles Nayaki.[1]
