More about the music:

Gawati is a lesser-known raga, very close to Raag Bheem. It is difficult to handle due to its peculiar gait that lends to its sweetness. However, some musicians belonging to Patiala and Imdadkhani gharanas perform it lustily. It belongs to the Khamaj Thaat and is an afternoon raga. Its Jati is audav-shadav, that is, it uses five notes in its ascent and 6 notes in its descent. The dominant note is Pa (5th) and sub-dominant note is Sa (1st). It omits re (2nd) and Dha (6th) and deploys komal Ni (flat 7th) in its ascent and drops Ni (7th) altogether in its descent.

Its arohana and avarohana are as follows:

S G M P n S’ (Western Notes: C E F G A# C)

S’ D P M, P G M R n.S (Western Notes: C A G F, G E F D A# C)

According to some this belongs to the time zone of afternoon while many others place it in the late evening or pre-midnight zone. The plain notes lend it a simple but strangely stooping gait (with oft-used G M P n S’D and G M R n.S) that expresses benevolent and happy mood.
