Raag Lalit is a morning raga in the Hindustani classical music tradition. It is one of the oldest and most popular ragas and is known for its serene and devotional mood. The raga is derived from the Poorvi thaat, and its scale features a shuddha (natural) madhyam (third) and a komal (flat) dhaivat (sixth). The pancham (fifth) is not used in the raga.
The raga is characterized by its use of the gandhar (second) and the komal dhaivat. These two notes create a sense of sweetness and tranquility, which is further enhanced by the use of the shuddha madhyam. The raga also features a distinctive oscillation between the shuddha and komal ma, which adds to its beauty and complexity.
Raag Lalit is typically sung during the first prahar (forenoon) of the day, between 4am and 6am. It is a good raga for meditation and prayer, and can also be used to express feelings of love and devotion.
Here are some of the key features of Raag Lalit:
* Scale: shuddha madhyam, komal dhaivat, shuddha gandhar, shuddha nishad. Pancham is not used.

Raag Lalit is a beautiful and versatile raga that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. It is a great raga to learn for beginners, as it is not too difficult to sing or play. However, it is also a challenging raga to master, as it requires a good understanding of the nuances of the scale and the raga's unique mood.
If you are interested in learning more about Raag Lalit, I recommend listening to some recordings of the raga and reading about it in books or online resources.
