Raga Information:

Raga Khammaja is a representative of the Khammaja That. Notice that this raga differs from its that’s scale in the sense that suddha ni is a standard note in the aroha. This raga is used in a wide variety of compositions, especially in Bengali and Vaisnava devotional music. Like Raga Kafi, this really can be sung anytime, however the best time is to sing it in the sixth prahar.
