Question

What is not common between Raag Marwa and Puriya?

• A. Jati
• B. Thaat
• C. Komal, Teevra Swara
• D. Vadi-Samvadi

Hint:

Marwa and Puriya belong to the same thaat and have similar swaras, but their vadi-samvadi relationship is different.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Raag Marwa and Raag Puriya are both important evening ragas. Both are associated with Marwa thaat and use similar swaras, but their vadi-samvadi relationship is different.

Step 1: Compare the thaat.
Both Marwa and Puriya belong to: \[ \text{Marwa thaat} \] So, thaat is common.

Step 2: Compare the swaras.
Both ragas use: \[ \text{Komal Re} \] and \[ \text{Tivra Ma} \] So, their komal and tivra swara usage is common.

Step 3: Compare the jati.
Both ragas are generally treated as similar in jati structure because Pancham is not used prominently. So, jati is also common.

Step 4: Compare vadi-samvadi.
The vadi and samvadi swaras of Marwa and Puriya are different. The main resting and important swaras are not the same in both ragas. Therefore, Vadi-Samvadi is not common.

Step 5: Final conclusion.
The feature not common between Marwa and Puriya is: \[ \boxed{\text{Vadi-Samvadi}} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
