Raga Bilawal in Hindustani music is the equivalent of Raga Shankarabharanam in Carnatic music, as both are based on the same set of notes, essentially functioning as a major scale. Dheera Shankarabharanam, being a variant of the basic Shankarabharanam, retains the predominant characteristics of the raga, emphasizing its major scale quality, which aligns with the essence of Raga Bilawal. This similarity reflects the broader framework of raag classification in Indian music, demonstrating the interconnectedness of Hindustani and Carnatic traditions based on shared musical principles.
