Sohni
Sohini is a raga in Hindustani classical music in the Marwa thaat. Alternate transliterations include Sohani and Sohni. Like Bahar, it is a small raga, with not much space for elaboration. It emotes the feel of longing, of passive sensuousness. Technical Description The raga is of audav-shadav nature, i.e., it has five swaras (notes) in the arohana (ascent) and six in the avarohana. Rishabh (Re) is and Madhyam (Ma) is , while all other swaras are shuddha. Pancham (Pa) is not used. The vadi swara is Dha, and samvadi is Ga. The rishabh is weak, but Gandhar (Ga) is strong, unlike Marwa. It is an Uttaranga pradhan raga, with the higher notes on the saptak (octave) being used more frequently. Samay (Time) Raga Sohini is associated with very late night / pre-dawn, the last or eighth period of day, roughly from 3-6AM.

Marwa (raga)
Marva or Marwa () is a hexatonic Indian raga; Pa (the fifth tone) is omitted. Marva is the eponymous raga of the Marva thaat. Aroha and Avaroha Arohana: 'Ni Ga Dha Ni S' Keeping the key in C, in the Western scale this would roughly translate to: B D♭ E F♯ A B D♭ C Avarohana: Ni Dha Ga 'Ni 'Dha Sa The Ma is actually Ma Tivratara, which is a perfect fourth above Re komal (which is 112 cents above Sa)) Vadi and Samvadi The Vadi is komal Re, while the Samvadi is shuddh Dha. Notice that these do not form a perfect interval. So V.N.Paṭvardhan says "It is customary to give Re and Dha as vādi and saṃvādi, but seen from the point of view of the śāstras (treatises) it is not possible for re and Dha to be saṃvādī (i.e. consonant) to each other. For this reason, in our opinion it is proper to accept Dha as vādī and Ga as saṃvādī" On the other hand if Ga receives too much emphasis, it would create the impression of raga Puriya Pakad or Chalan S ...
