S-r-G-P-d-N-S
Taking a ‘Shree/Bhairav no ma’ swara set, the hexatonic Triveni (also titled ‘Tirban/Tirvan’) is comprised of two symmetrical clusters – SrG & PdN (both semitonal jumps of ‘1-3’). Melodic motions mostly take after Shree, particularly via a strong re–Pa sangati and G\rS descents – evident in Shounak Abhiskehi’s jhaptal bandish (Kalindi Saraswati, transcribed below: described in the liner notes as an “extremely difficult raga”). The scale shape is also describable as ‘Din ki Puriya komal Pa’ [n.b. The name ‘Triveni’, implying a ‘confluence of three ragas’, is also used for several unrelated forms: e.g. Tarun Bhattacharya’s recently introduced mix of Lalit, Rageshri, & Jogeshwari, and Bhimsen Joshi’s bespoke blend of Marwa, Kedar, & Bhatiyar].
