Here's our attempt at presenting the flavour of Miya Malhar through a medley of bandish and film songs..
aroh: Sa Ma-Re Pa, Ma Pa Ni' Dha Ni Sa°

Avroh: Sa° Ni' Pa, Ma Pa Ga', Ma Re Sa

Vadi: Ma

Samvadi: Sa

Thaat: Kaafi

But even for those who do not know these technicalities, the distinct notes of Miya Malhar (Ni' Dha Ni Sa) evoke a sense of monsoon. Legend has it that Miya Malhar was composed by Miya Tansen (hence the name) and that this raag induces rainfall. Even if one assumes the rainfall that the legend speaks of to be metaphorical, the state of mind induced by renditions from maestros like Pt. Bhimsen Joshi is no less than the ecstatic feeling of being drenched in rain.
