First prahar — sunrise · 06:00–09:00
Bhatiyar
भटियार
A daybreak sandhi-prakash raga of the Marwa family with Bhairav touches, sung as night gives way to dawn. It blends both madhyams and a vakra, wandering sanchara into a solemn, awakening mood. (Treatment varies by gharana.)

Dosha effect
Vata -1 · Pitta ±0 · Kapha -1(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
A daybreak sandhi-prakash raga — its solemn, awakening sanchara lifts the heavy kapha of dawn while steadying the vata of the just-woken mind.
On Sun: Sung as night yields to dawn, Bhatiyar greets the rising Surya — the graha of daybreak and renewal.
