Marva or Marwa ( IAST: Mārvā) is one of the ten basic thaats of Hindustani music from the Indian subcontinent. It is also the name of a raga within this thaat. [1] [2][ page needed]
Marva thaat is obtained by adding a komal Rishabh to the Kalyan thaat. 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. [7] Aspects of Marwa are also incorporated in Mali Gaura. [8]
