Murchana

Murchha, which meaning dazzling or emerging, is the source of the term murchhna, which signifies a shining or emerging item. Pandit Omkarnath Thakur ji says that murchana is the fainting of a bright or emerging item.

Murchana is an ascending and descending scale with seven notes, according to Bharat Muni and Pt. Sharangdev Ji (Saat Swar).

Signs and symptoms of murchhna:-

(1) Murchhna is village-specific.

(2) Murchhna's notes are in order.

(3) Murchhna is finished.

(4) Any particular note in Gram is where fainting begins.

What distinguishes ascension (Aroh and Avroh) from Murchhna:-

Murchhna and ascent and descent (Aroh and Avroh) differ greatly different from one another. With each Murchhna, the Shruti difference is different. However, the distinction between ascending and descending Shruti is always the same.

It has been suggested by ancient writers that sound originated from Shruti, gram from sound, and murchhna from gram. From every gram, seven seven murchanas are formed. Three Grams are present:

(1) Shadaj Gram's Faintings:

(1) Uttara Mandra; (2) Rajani; (3) Uttaraita; (4) Shuddha Shadaja; (5) Matsarikrita; (6) Ashvakranta; and (7) Abhirudgata.

(2) The middle village Murchhna:-

Murchhna comprises the following people: (1) Sauviri, (2) Harinashva, (3) Kalopnata, (4) Shuddhamadhya, (5) Margi, (6) Pauravi, (7) Harishka.

(3) The unconsciousness of Gandhar village:

Because Bharat Muni left with the Gandharva people, Gandhar village vanished before him, and as a result, their names are lost.

Four different kinds of murchhna have been studied by Pandit Sharangdev ji.

(1) Shuddha (2) Antar Sanhita (3) Kakali Sanhita (4) Antar Kafli Sanhita

The spread of murchana has fully ceased in the present period. since 'S' is regarded as the foundation of all ragas. Nevertheless, South Indian music continues to use murchana.
