Pūriya is an important raga associated with this time of day when the sun disappears on the horizon. It has the same scale as Māravā, but a distinct calana. The movements of Pūriya are mainly in the first tetrachord (pūrvāṅga) of the mid-octave (madhya saptaka) with an emphasis on the svara Ga and Ma. Ṇi is an important note often taken as a starting and an ending point in the development of melodic lines: Ṇi Ma Ga re Sa Ṇi; Ṇi re Ga Ma Ga re Sa Ṇi; Ga Ma Dha Ga Ma Ga re Sa Ṇi. Pūriya is a serious and introspective raga that suggests a state of calm and contemplation.
