Lalit(with Suddha 'Dha') and Puriya Dhanashri - Jasrangi

Lets do it:
C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#- A-A#-B - C- C# -D- D#- E- F  (Lalit with Suddha 'Dha')
                         |   |    x   x     |   x     |     |    |       x   x     |   |
                        C-C#-D-D#-E- F-  F#- G- G#- A- A#-B-C-C#-D-D#- (Puriya Dhanashri)

Lalit (with Suddha 'Dha') - 'Re' komol(C#); 'Ma' - Tivra+Suddha(F+F#); no 'Pa'(G)
PuriyaDhanashri: 'Pa' used - 'Re' komol; 'Dha' komol; 'Ma' Tivra

Similarly we can do for Abhogi and Kalavati.

Fusion - Deepak Ram

Jasrangi

Jasrangi example

 - same note - start from different tonics
 - leads to two ragas
 - diatonic scale
- typically 'sa' in female voice  and 'ma' in male voice voice.(harmonic part)
-"JASRANGI" unique duet (male/female), conceived by Pandit Jasraj.
- raag abhogi (sa) and raag kalavati (ma)
- raag lalit (sa) and raag puriya dhaneshree (ma)


" Pandit Jasraj ...... His greatest contribution to Indian classical music is his conception of a unique and novel jugalbandi, styled on the ancient system of Moorchanas, between a male and a female vocalist, each singing in their respective scales and different ragas at the same time[citation needed].In his honor, this legendary jugalbandi is known as The Jasrangi.

Circle of Fifths (from Wiki)

Relative Minor is 3 semitone lower than the respective Major chord
CAGED system

key of a song

key finding 15 min after
listen to the song carefully->hum it->play the ballpark note on piano->eliminate those notes which come in the minor chord that puts that ballpark note at the end of that minor chord->after eliminating the other 2 notes you will have the key of the song. (ballpark note might be 3rd or 5th note in the original key).This is "minor chord test"
