Seventh prahar — night · 00:00–03:00
Kirwani
कीरवाणी
Carnatic melakarta 21 (Kiravani) adopted wholesale into Hindustani concert practice, especially by instrumentalists — the harmonic-minor scale. Its late-night placement is modern performance convention, not an old-text prahar assignment.

Dosha effect
Vata -1 · Pitta -1 · Kapha ±0(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
The harmonic-minor sweetness of komal Ga and Dha against shuddha Ni releases late-night emotion gently — cooling and consoling at once.
