Marva (thaat)

Marva or Marwa (IAST: Mārvā) is one of the ten basic thaats of Hindustani music from the Indian subcontinent.

The mood of the Marva family of ragas is strongly and easily recognisable.

Other ragas in Marva thaat:[3] According to O. Thakur[4] Pūrvā Kalyāṇa is Marwa with Pa and less emphasis on komal Re.

R. Jha[5][full citation needed] treats Bhaṭiya as a mixture of Marwa and Maand.

[6] There is only one Author (B. Subba Rao) mentioning a raga Māravā Gaurī, thus Moutal does not consider this an own form.
