About this Raga
Puriyā is a Hindustani import that shares the exact same scale as Mārwā and Haṃsānandi, but differs significantly in Vadi-Samvadi (prominent notes). While Mārwā dwells on R₁ and D₂, Puriyā is centered around G₃ and N₃. It is a meditative, expansive raga usually associated with the evening. In a Carnatic context, it emphasizes the lower and middle octaves to create a deep, resonant gravity.
