S-R-gG-m-P-D-nN-S

---

An enchanting combination of Jaijaiwanti and Miyan ki Malhar, featuring correspondingly complex paths through the double Ga and Ni positions. Moumita Mitra’s explanation notes that some interpretations may alternate between the two parent ragas in a segmented, sequential manner, whereas others prefer to present their phrases in more intermingled fashion (e.g. RGm(G)P mGm\R; (m)R/P (m)gmR(SR)S: a signature which also turns up in some interpretations of Ramdasi Malhar). While few others seem to have published formal analysis of the raga, many have recorded effective renditions: most are by male singers, such as Ramrang, Ulhas Kashalkar, Ram Deshpande, Sanjeev Abhyankar, and Sawani Shende – however Apoorva Gokhale & Pallavi Joshi have also performed a swooping duet, and Mita Nag and Rajeev Taranath have played it on sitar and sarod respectively. Also see other Jaijaiwanti compounds including Jaijaiwanti Nat and Jayant Sarang, as well as more members of the Malhar raganga.
