Barwa is a Hindustani classical raga. It is similar to raga Desi (raga). It is also close to raga Sindhura, but distinguishes itself in how it approaches S R m in arohi (ascending) movements and komal gandhar (g) while descending.[1] Barwa is particularly well-loved by the Agra gharana musicians, and several recordings of Barwa can be found by veteran as well as contemporary Agra vocalists.[2][3][4]
