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

---

A relatively straightforward mixture of Miyan ki Malhar and Brindabani Sarang, which omits Ga throughout in the fashion of the latter raga, while showcasing the former’s nDNS uttarang phrase (Jairazbhoy observes that “Dha is attached to ni, more or less as an ornament”). Refer to assorted vocal renditions by Apoorva Gokhale, K.G. Ginde, Shounak Abhisheki, Basavraj Rajguru, Pandit Jasraj, and Sardarbai Karadgekar (seemingly her only surviving recording) – as well as a rare instrumental take from Ali Akbar Khan. Close to the rare Dhuliya Malhar (as per Ishwarchandra Karkare, “in Miyan ki Sarang, [there is] a little bit [more] in mandra saptak, and you [often] sing RPmR”). Also see other Malhar variants (e.g. Des Malhar & Jayant Malhar) and Sarang compounds (e.g. Samant Sarang & Saraswati Sarang).
