Puriya
Evening I listened to the raag puriya on you tube music sung by Apoorva Gokhale. Puriya is based in Marva thaat. It's notes are the same as raag marva but the vaadi swar is gandhar and sanvadi is nishad. In marva the vaadi swar is rishabh and sanvadi is dhaivat. This too is a raag that creates a serene atmosphere like marva. It is sung or played during the evening when it is beginning to get dark. Apoorva Gokhale's rendition of raag puriya was excellent. The nuances of the raag were well captured by her. She is blessed with a good voice and has obviously taken a good taalim from her guru. I had seen her name in many concert advertisements but heard her for the first time. She started with a vilambit, followed by a drut and ended with a taraana. She was successful in creating the perfect mood of puriya. YouTube music is a blessing with so much content available. There are recordings of live performances of longer duration of forty to fifty minutes that are a delight to listen to...
