C Raga Marwa

Indian Raga-Derived Scales

A sunset raga with no 5th (Pa); komal Re and tivra Ma give it a restless, expectant feel.

A raga is more than a set of notes: it has different ascending/descending paths, emphasised notes (vadi/samvadi) and ornaments. Shown here are the underlying notes (thaat).

Tap any dot to hear it.
