The previous recordings represent the more prevalent Devgandhari sung by Sikh raagis. Some say there is a difference between the Devgandhari and Devgandhar citing that except for one shabad, all shabads in the Granth Sahib; thus recognizing the difference (See above recording of Jagat Main Jhooti by Bhai Gurdev Singh). However, one of the blog readers, Manbir Singh ji, pointed out to me that there are no shabads in Devgandhar in the Granth Sahib. Bhai Avtar Singh calls what some call "Devgandhar," raag "Devgandhari, Asavari ang". The prevalent Devgandhar in Indian classical music does not use Shudha Ni and Dha, but uses both Gandhars. Here are a couple of recordings of the other form:

Tera Jan Raam Rasayan - Bhai Avtar Singh
