S-gG-m-P-d-n-S
A poorvang–uttarang blend of Jog and Malkauns (despite the name, there is no trace of Nand). Shuddha ma, as the natural meeting point between these two ragas, assumes the most prominence (sometimes hinting at a ma-murchana of SRgmPnNS) – along with frequent use of a highly expressive n\P glide. Remains rare on the concert platform, although renditions by Parveen Sultana and Amjad Ali Khan have gained renown – also see performances by UK artists Dharambir Singh and Nina Burmi (singing a Chinmoy Lahiri bandish slanted towards Jogkauns: itself a blend of Jog and an older ‘shuddha Ni Malkauns’ offshoot). Prakriti with the Carnatic-imported Vardhini – and also forms one of Chandranandan’s four foundations (along with Malkauns, Chandrakauns, & Kaunsi Kanada).
