Raga Puriya

Raga Puriya is the sound of dusk — not the golden hour, but the moment just after, when the light has left and something heavier and more beautiful settles in its place. Its rasa is a deep, searching longing — the feeling of the day closing and something unfinished remaining. Puriya avoids the shadaj (Sa) in its ascent, which gives it a restless, seeking quality even within its overall stillness. On sarod, Raga Puriya meditation music takes on a resonance that feels grounded and searching simultaneously. It is particularly suited to evening meditation as the light fades, Yin yoga, or the slow unwinding that the end of the working day requires. This is a raga that rewards attentive listening. The Raga Soundscapes Puriya soundscape takes its time — as this raga demands — and does not resolve before it is ready.
