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]
Description
[edit]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.
Ragas
[edit]Other ragas in Marva thaat:[3]
- Marva
- Puriya
- Sohni
- Lalit (although it is sometimes placed in Purvi thaat)
- Bibhas (two other types of Bibhas are placed in Bhairav thaat or Purvi thaat)
- Pancham (Hindol Pancham)
- Maligaura
- Purba (Purbya)
- Purvakalyan
- Jait (Jayat) (not to be confused with Jait Kalyan
- Varati (raga)
- Bhatiyar

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]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
