This raga is similar to raag Deshkar in notes. Ma and Ni are varjya in both ragas which make them of 5 notes, thus Audav-Audav jaati. The difference lies in gayaki (way its sung), usage of notes and shrutis (microtones). Bhoop/Bhoopali is a poorvang pradhan raaga (Which means most of the singing is in Mid(madhaya) or lower(mandra) octave) where as Deshkar is uttarang pradhan raaga (Mostly sung in mid or high(tar) octave/saptak. Gandhar - Dhaivat sangati is strong in raag bhoopali and Rishub is the nyas swar. Raag bhoopali is also popular as raag Mohan in carnatic music.
