S-rR-gG-m-P-d-nN-S

---

A jod raga fashioned by Agra vocalist Jagannathbuwa Purohit ‘Gunidas’ (also the creator of Jogkauns and Swanandi), combining ideas from two well-known morning ragas – Jaunpuri and Bhairav. Parrikar points to to the “crowded swara-space”, with both komal and shuddha variants of Re, Ga, and Ni on display: meaning that the entire komal ni to shuddha ma range is available in some guise (nNSrRgGm), allowing for great expressive and phrasal flexibility (see the Ram Marathe recording transcribed below). Rare raga explorer Abhijith Shenoy ‘Abhirang’ offers catchphrases including SRmP; rNSdP; dmPG; PgRS; GmrS – also refer to Gunidas’ original composition Aba Meri Suno Tuna (“displaying great skill in navigation, [and] successfully bringing an aesthetic unity to his design…”). Compare to other members of the Bhairav raganga.
