पटदीप
A gentle afternoon raag from the Kafi thaat with komal Ga and komal Ni.
Raag Patdeep is a gentle and contemplative afternoon raag that uses komal Ga and komal Ni. Its melodic character is soft, inward, and quietly emotional, making it well-suited for reflective musical expression. It shares the afternoon time slot with Bhimpalasi but has a distinctly different phrase personality.
This summary is designed as a learner-facing orientation. Interpretive details can vary by source and performance lineage.

Uses komal Ga and komal Ni. All other swaras are shuddh.
Patdeep's gentle character distinguishes it from the more intense Bhimpalasi. The Ga(k)-Ma-Pa ascending phrase and the treatment of Dha are important identity markers.
