Which ragas are played in the morning and which in the evening?

In Hindustani music, Bhairav and Todi are morning ragas, while Yaman and Marwa belong to the early evening. This classical tradition of north India gives each raga its own time of day, called its samay. A raga is the melodic framework a musician improvises within.

Other hours have their own ragas. Madhuvanti belongs to the late afternoon, and Darbari Kanada to late at night.
