Raag Dhanasri, Dhaani & Bhimpalasi

Raag Dhanashri

(Also spelt Dhanashri or Dhanasri or Dhanasree or Dhanasree)
Aaroh (Ascent): Sa g m P n S
Avroh (Descent): S n D P m g R S
Vaadi: Pa

 

This was used by Chotte Ghulam Ali Khan a lot (Chupke Chupke).
 
The Dhanashri sung in Hindustani Classical music is different. One uses Shudha Ga. It sounds like the Madh Kalyan of Ustad Salamat Ali Khan. For example: 
 
 

Another Dhanashri uses both shudha Ga and shuda Ni:


 

Raag Bhimpalasi 

(Also called Bhimpalas, Bheempalasi, Bheempalas)
Compared to Raag Dhanashri, Raag Bhimapalasi uses "Ma" as vaadi. I have heard compositions of Dhanashri sung in Bhimpalasi by Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant.
Aaroh (Ascent): Sa g m P n S
Avroh (Descent): S n D P m g R S
Vaadi: Pa 
 
 

Raag Dhaani

(Also spelt Dhani)
Aaroh (Ascent): Sa g m P n S
Avroh (Descent): S n P m g (R) S
Pakad: g m n P g R S



Used in the semi-classical form here in an Abhang of Bhagat Namdev in Raag Dhani; notice the use of Dha sometimes as a secondary Aaroh:
