Tranquil silent night’s pleasingly moist atmosphere is the apt description of Raag Sohani mood as it is rendered late in the night before dawn. The intensity of the feelings find expression as it is rendered largely in Madhya and Tar Saptaks. This Raag belongs to Marwa Thaat. The swar set of Sohani is like those of Raag Marwa and Raag Puriya except Rishabh is Varjya in Aaroh.
In this Raag Dhaivat-Gandhar Sangati is important. In Avroh, D-G Sangati is initiated from Nishad like: N D G M G whereas in Puriya, the D-G Sangati is taken from Madhyam Teevra like: S’ N D ; M D G M G. G M D N S’ ; S’ r’ S’ r’ N S’ N D N D ; G M G ; M D N S’ r’ S’ these are the Raag Vachak notes.
The Shadaj Madhyam Bhava relationship between Teevra Madhyam and Shuddha Nishad produces a sweet mesmerizing effect on the audience.
The following combinations are illustrative:
