Raag Puriya Dhanashree
Puriya Dhanashree is a Poorvi-thaat raag, given its full colour in the 4th prahar of the day. It uses all seven swaras on the way up and all seven coming down, taking a vakra (winding) path rather than a straight line. Phrases centre on Pancham - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Shadj as samvadi.
Swars: Rishabh and Dhaivat Komal. Madhyam Teevra. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.
