Introduction: Raag Yaman and Raag Durga in Dhrupad Genre
***************************************************************
#Raag Yaman
Raag Yaman is one of the foundational and most revered ragas in Indian classical music. It belongs to the Kalyan thaat and is characterized by its serene and devotional mood, often evoking a sense of tranquility and introspection. The raga is performed during the evening hours and employs all seven notes (swaras) with the teevra (sharp) madhyam (Ma) being a distinctive feature. The aaroh (ascending scale) and avaroh (descending scale) follow a symmetrical pattern, typically rendered as:
- Aaroh: N R G M D N S'
- Avaroh: S' N D P M G R S
The movement of notes in Yaman is fluid and graceful, with an emphasis on the gandhar (Ga) and nishad (Ni), which imbues the raga with its characteristic sweet and soothing quality. Dhrupad compositions in Raag Yaman emphasize slow, meditative alap sections, exploring the depth of each note, followed by structured bandishes (compositions) that maintain the raga's spiritual essence.
#Raag Durga
Raag Durga, another prominent raga in the indian classical music repertoire, is known for its simplicity and purity. It belongs to the Bilawal thaat and is an audav-audav raga, meaning it uses five notes in both the ascending and descending scales. The notes used are shuddha (natural) and the raga does not employ the Gandhar (Pa) or the Nishad (Ni). Its scale is:
- Aaroh: S R M P D S'
- Avaroh: S' D P M R S
Raag Durga is performed during the second prahar of the night (9 PM to midnight) and evokes a mood of devotion and joy. The raga’s straightforward structure and pentatonic nature lend it a clear, open sound that is both uplifting and calming. In Dhrupad, Raag Durga is explored through intricate alaps, where the purity of each note is meticulously highlighted. The compositions often embody a sense of devotion, with rhythmic and lyrical content that celebrates divine or heroic themes.

I see where you are coming from, but this type of music and the instruments played on it are much, much more recent.

[@SuperSeaanemone]

The second disciple of Vidushi Jyoti Hegde who moves me deeply. The first being Smt. Madhuvanti Pal. As Dhrupad artists both of them are lotus plants rising ever higher into perpetual blossoming.

[@SaptaswarBaithak]

Smt. Madhuvanti Pal is not disciple of Vidushi Jyoti Hegde.

[@miatchism]

@SuperSeaanemone what is her full name so I can follow her, I'm not sure her name please,

[@SuperSeaanemone]

@@miatchismher channel is called Madhuvanti & the Rudra Veena.

[@tatootao]

Sure it is still little scholar but we can feel she will become surely a great performer on this difficult instrument!

Mrunlini! This is one of my favorite Rudraveena performances! I spent several hours searching for similar quality performances after enjoying yours and I couldn't find anything that I could even tolerate (no offense to others). Your technique speaks to me somehow. The nuance and control you exhibit in your bends, vibrato, timing, everything is a joy to experience. Thank you for spending the many hours and months and years learning to play as well as you do. Your talent is a a treasure of humanity. Thank you!

All about Yoga is based on listening and becoming one with the Holy Vibration of Om... I believe Drupad, vocal and Rudra Vina, are the best human expressions of the sacred Om and of all Its variations. You express all this with your meditative and sacred playing. Thank you so much, I'm spiritually thrilled listenig your ragas: may God bless you 🙏🕉

Just as a seed, barely big enough to capture our attention sits in the palm of our hand. This young one started out this Raga as a seed, throught her very own seasons, we no longer see a seed, but the largest lotus tree I have ever experienced and observed. Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti
