While performing Pooriya Dhanashri. M’ Dha̱ S N Dha̱ P M’ G M’......G is the tirobhava of which Raga?

Correct option is D

Correct Option: d)
Tirobhava is a concept in Hindustani classical music where a note or melodic phrase from a secondary raga is briefly and artistically suggested within the elaboration of a primary raga.
Information Booster:
· In the given phrase of Raga Pooriya Dhanashri (an evening raga with komal Rishabh, shuddha Gandhar, shuddha Madhyam, komal Dhaivat, and shuddha Nishad), the clear appearance of Shuddha Gandhar “G” is notable.
· This Shuddha Gandhar acts as the tirobhava (suggested shade) of Raga Basant.
· Basant is a spring raga where both Gandhar and Nishad are shuddha.
· The use of this shuddha Gandhar in Pooriya Dhanashri's typical komal-Nishad environment creates a fleeting but recognisable Basant flavour.
Additional Knowledge:
· In Raga Paraj, Shuddha Gandhar is a regular note, not a fleeting tirobhava.
· Raga Purvi uses komal Gandhar, making shuddha Gandhar alien to its structure.
· Raga Multani also uses komal Gandhar exclusively.
