Bahar is a Hindustani classical raga. This raga is very similar (but still distinct) to raga Malhar. This raga is from the Kafi Thaat.
Writing about the musical theory of Indian classical music is fraught with complications due to its complex and intricate nature. First of all, there have been no set, formal methods of written notation. Indian music is an aural tradition, and therefore writing is not an essential part of attaining talim (systematic study).
But in recent years, a couple of methods of notation (swar leepi) for Hindustani Classical Music have evolved. A prominent example of them are BhatKhande Swar leepi (widely used in the present time) by Pt. VishnuNarayan BhatKhande,

The Raag belongs to Kafi Thaat
The bare scale of this raga has little unique musical meaning, and is, therefore, required to be documented in a manner that incorporates its zigzag phrasing pattern.
