Raag Poorvi 

Poorvi is an old traditional raga, which originated in the eastern part of India. Its ancient precursor Purvagauda had a similar scale to modern Bhairav (S r G m P d N). Poorvi itself does not appear in the literature before the 16th century. It is one of the 14 original composition of the legend Tansen.

Purvi or Poorvi is a raga in Hindustani classical music that exemplifies its own thaat, the Poorvi thaat. Purvi has a deeply serious, quiet and somewhat mystical character. It is uncommon in performances nowadays.  

This is an evening dusk (sandhi prakash) Raag. S ,N ,d ,N r S ; ,N S r G ; r G M P ; P M G m (r)G ; r S These are the Raag Vachak Swar Sangati of Poorvi. In this Raag Gandhar is very prominent and is a Vadi and Nyas Swar.

This raga creates an heavy atmosphere full of Karun ras (Sadness). This raga can be rendered in all the three Saptaks. The ragas of the Poorvi that fall broadly under two sub-classes subject to their anga heritage, namely the Shree-anga ragas and the Poorvi-anga ragas.
