Similarly to Raga Kedar you can find both Ma-s in it, in the case of Bihag, however, the Ma is played very gently in certain parts of the descending scale. The runs usually finish on one of the following notes: Ga, Pa, Sa. The tivra Ma divides the octave into two equal parts, thus we end up playing phrases like the NSG- RS or MPN- DP.
