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

---

A morning form summarised by Bose as “a combination of three or four ragas dominated by the Bhairav-ang…with a touch of Lalit-ang only in the avroh (where both Ma come together)…The vadi Ma separates Prabhat Bhairav from Bhairav, while Pa keeps it away from Lalit” (also see the nearby Lalit Pancham). Pakad include GmG; rSrS; dNS; GmdP; mGr; GmMGrS. See an excellent demo by Mrinal Dhongade, who summarises it as “heart-warming: an uttarang-pradhan raga, with repeated nyas on shuddha ma”. Prakriti with Paraj and Poorvi – and thus far, the exclusive realm of vocalists.
