S-r-G-mM-P-d-N-S

---

A seldom-performed jod raga matching the swaras of Poorvi, summarised by Aneesh Pradhan as “a combination of the [springtime] Paraj and Kalingada, [which is] popularly used in the thumri–dadra genres”. Paraj and Kalingada, already being closely-related forms, give rise to a subtle, samay-mixing blend – further seasoned by their respective proximities to Basant and Bhairav. Pradhan recommends the rendition of Vilayat Hussain Khan ‘Pranpiya’ (“the Agra ‘bol-bant’ [a method of lyrical expansion based on rhythmic sequences] is very much on showcase’…”). Also refer to recordings by Ram Marathe and Ulhas Kashalkar – and see the prakriti Prabhat Bhairav.
