We can classify it under bhairav thATh. (thATh: A mother tune, or a group head. In other words vibhAs can be considered as a derivative of bhairav rAga).
It is pentatonic, in the sense that it has only five notes, both in ascendant and in descendant. In Hindi we call it auDav-auDav.
Ascendant notes: c, c#, e, g, g#, c'.
Descendant notes: c', g#, g, e, c#, c.
North Indian equivalent notes, ArOhi: sa, ko-ri, su-ga, pa, su-dha, tar sa.
avrOhi: tar sa, kO-dha, pa, Su-ga, kO-ri, sa.
South Indian equivalent Carnatic Notes, ArOhaNam: sa, su-ri, amtara-ga, pa, su-da, tAra sa.
avarOhaNa: tAra sa, Su-da, pa, amtara-ga, su-ri, sa.
Here is a listening exercise in 4 beat (tIn tAl or Adi tALam). The video shows on the screen, the western notes used for compu-generating the audio.
We can get a listening exercise by comparing the notes shown on the screen with the notes played in the audio. By continuous practice we can get an ability to identify notes on the first listening itself. (svara gnAna).

Important note:
The instruments you listen are not real life instruments. They are computer codecs. You may find that sitar is not sounding like the real life sitar of Ravi Shankar or Vilayat Khan. I am optimistic, that some day, science will give us more codecs which will not only emulate real life instruments, but overcome them in melody and accuracy.
