Sohni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sohni is a raga in Hindustani classical music in the Marwa thaat. It may be spelt Sohani, or even Sohini.
| Tall, virgin, charming, her eyes like lotuses, ears clustered with celestial flowers, Sohini is a lovely form. She holds a lute and her songs are amorous Rāga kalpa druma, p. 19[1] |
The arohana is S G M D N S' r' S', and the avarohana is S' N D N D G M D M G M G r S.
Raga Sohni is associated with very late night / pre-dawn, the last or eighth period of day, roughly from 3-6AM. It is somewhat similar to Marwa and Pooriya ragas in the same thaat[2], and also to Basant in the Poorvi thaat[3].
