Clear filtersThe great vakra raga of midday — Kalyan-thaat swaras taken in curling, never-straight phrases (the signature S-G-R-M-G ascent). Both madhyamas appear; sung in the third prahar when the sun is high.
Sources draw on Sangita Ratnakara, Natya Shastra, and Bhatkhande’s Sangeet Paddhati. Dosha mappings from Charaka Samhita / Ashtanga Hridaya.
The simplest of the midday Sarang family — pentatonic, omitting Ga and Dha, with shuddha Ni rising and komal Ni falling. Vrindavani Sarang's plainer sibling for the sun's peak hours.
The midday Sarang taken with both madhyamas and no Ga — tivra Ma rising, shuddha Ma falling. Bright and poised, sung in the third prahar with the Sarang family's noon associations.
A Kanada-anga midday raga of the Kafi thaat, the traditional companion of Suha and often sung as the compound Suha-Sughrai. Finer attributions vary by gharana; vadi and jati are left unstated.
A Kanada-anga raga of the Kafi thaat sung at midday, traditionally paired with Sughrai — komal Ga taken with the curved Kanada treatment in descent, Dha omitted. A connoisseur's raga whose finer attributions vary by gharana; vadi and jati are left unstated.
Midday Sarang-family raga carrying the bhava of Vrindavan — Krishna playing among the gopis. One of the rare day-time ragas in this library.
