S-r-G-M-d-N-S

---

Din ki Puriya (‘Daytime Puriya’) sets its six swaras to the general phrase patterns of the Puriya–ang, avoiding Pa throughout. The scale’s ‘palindromic hexagon’ places a tight hemitonic cluster (NSr) opposite a wider tone-trio (GMd), also providing an augmented ‘equilateral triangle’ (SGd). Melodic motions remain fairly free, given the lack of any prakriti ragas – with Sa standing out as the only ‘detached’ swara. Comparatively rare in khayal, and near-untouched by instrumentalists (aside from Kala Ramnath) – although Jitendra Abhisheki’s recordings have gained renown (Kovid Rathee also recounts the tale of a 1997 Jasraj rendition: “Apparently, someone in the audience was smoking a bidi…and Jasraj-ji modified the lyrics of the bandish to ask the culprit to stop, as it interfered with his singing”).
