S-R-gG-m-P-D-n-S
A seldom-heard Rageshri variant which incorporates Kanada-flavoured poorvang phrases. The only full-length recording I was able to find is a fascinating 1960 album rendition by Dhrupad vocal legend Rahimuddin Khan Dagar (Ganga Jata Shiv: transcribed below), which incorporates shuddha Re and komal ga in curious adjacent movements such as SR(Gg)G, G(g)R. Intriguingly, the komal ga is often intoned with a notably higher sruti than usual (e.g. SR(Gg)G, G(g)R), at times even crossing the ‘quarter-tone’ boundary to blur its distinction with shuddha Ga (n.b. also see Lagan Gandhar, Kumar Gandharva’s ‘triple-Ga’ creation, as well as the Dagarvani concept of ‘non-zero Sa’). Aside from this take, the only other example I could trace is a riyaz session by bansuriya and environmental activist Satya Vayu (“from a selection of rough recordings”). Compare to prakriti ragas including Malgunji, Lankeshwari, and Neelambari.
