Sohini || Addha || 1001 BANDISHES - EP 343 || Bandish 359 || Manali

A delicate yet intense late-night raga of the Marwa thaat, Sohini embodies a luminous, inward fire — restless, yearning, and sensuous. Its sharp Ma (tivra Madhyam) and the poignant interplay of Re and Dha create a shimmering tension, perfectly suited to expressions of viraha and playful complaints. In this Madhyalaya Addha bandish, the nayika addresses Krishna with an affectionate reproach. The composition beautifully balances shringāra and chanchalata — tender longing mingled with teasing mischief. The rhythmic gait of Addha lends a graceful swing, enhancing the playful complaint while allowing space for expressive bol-bānāo and intricate layakari. Sohini’s upward-striving phrases and glowing tivra Ma illuminate the emotional restlessness of the heroine, making this bandish both vibrant and evocative in performance. 1001 BANDISHES OF THE GREAT MAESTROS (Episode 343 Bandish 359) Raga: Sohini Thaat: Marwa Jaati: Shadav Time: Dawn (Sandhiprakash) Vadi: Dha Samvadi: Ga SOHINI Madhyalaya Addha Kaahe ujadi mori neend Ho Kanhaiyaa.
