Rag Durga is based upon Bilaval that. From this that, the Ga and Ni are omitted, therefore this is an audav rag.

Identification of this rag in lighter songs is sometimes difficult. This is because Durga is linked to other common rags such as Malkauns and Bhupali by a process known as murchchana. Although this is not the time to go into the details of murchchanana, let it suffice to say that if you take Durga and start the scale from Ma you get Bhupali. Furthermore, if you take Durga and start the scale from Dha, you get Malkauns. The best way to keep these rags separate is with a good clear drone; this may be provided by the tanpura or a similar source. Since such drones tend to be missing in the lighter forms of music, the distinction between these rags is occasionally obscured. One well known film song in Durga is "Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne".
