Kharaj Exercises
Develop your lower register with targeted exercises for Kharaj (bass) voice training. Guide tones follow your shared Sa (C#4).
Basic Kharaj Practice
Avaroh in the lower register — even descent, one beat per swara.
Descend Sa → Ni → Dha → Pa → Ma → Ga → Re → Sa. Steady tone, clear each swara.
