As far as can be made out, no raga with these notes has been reported
until now (I stand corrected, if it is otherwise):
aroha: C Eb F G Bb C'
avaroha: C' Bb G F, Eb-F-F#-F, Eb C
"neela" means blue in Sanskrit; "Ishwari" means Goddess (of Music in the
present context) -- hence the compound word "Nileshwari". It has been inspired by the blues scale.
"n e e l e s h w a r e e", strictly.
This raga should be very suitable for jamming, too.
It strongly resembles the raga Dhani :
aroha: C Eb F G Bb C'
avaroha: C' Bb G F Eb C
But a Lalit-like phrase Eb-F-F#-F has become indelibly interwoven to
become its inseparable component.
It will soon develop enough to express itself in its very own mood, color,
texture, hue, shades and nuances.
