Raag Dhanashree of Bhimpalas ang (distinct from the Dhanashree of Bhairavi ang), which shares the same aaroh and avroh as Bhimpalas, has Pa as its vadi. While Pa is a nyaas note in Bhimpalas, frequent pauses on Pa can create confusion with Dhanashree.
Raag Dhani also bears similarities to Bhimpalas, but omits D and R in its avroh.
It is a sweet and playful raag that can express romance, as well as devotion.
