Answer:
What is Aaroh and Avroh?
In Hindi language Aaroh means ascending from a lower position to a higher position and Avroh means descending from a higher position to a lower position.
Aaroh (or Aarohan) is the ascending order of musical notes starting from the Middle Octave Sa to Higher Octave Sa.
In the same way Avroh (or Avrohan) is the descending order of notes from Higher Octave Sa to Middle Octave Sa.
Aaroh/Avroh for Bhoop Raag – An Example
Let us use the famous Bhoop raag to understand the concept of Aaroh and Avroh
Aaroh of Bhoop raag : Sa Re Ga Pa Dh SA – 5 notes used are Sa Re Ga Pa Dh
Avroh of Bhoop raag : SA Dh Pa Ga Re Sa – 5 notes used are SA Dh Pa Ga Re
As you can see in the case of Bhoop Raag (and in most of the raags) the Avroh is just the reverse of Aaroh.
Note that higher and middle octave Sa denoted by SA and Sa respectively are considered as one and not two notes as they are essentially same note in just different octaves.
Desh (Des) Raag – Mixed Jaati Aaroh and Avroh Example
Some raags and associated aaroh and avroh can be a mix of Jati (category) as well.
Let us take the example of Raag Desh (Des). Raag Desh or Des is a well known raag of audav-sampoorna type. And so, the Aaroh for Raag Desh (Des) has 5 swaras (notes) like those of Audav Jati and Avroh has 7 notes like those of Sampoorna Jati.
Aaroh for Des Raag: Sa Re Ma Pa Ni SA : 5 Notes used – Sa, Re, Ma, Pa and Ni
Avroh for Des Raag: SA ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re Sa : All 7 notes used – Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha ni
