Its counterpart

Jogiya is closely related to Vakulabharanam in the Carnatic tradition. The two share a scale and much of their mood, though the treatment and ornamentation differ.

How it is traditionally used

Listen at dawn / sunrise, when the raga's hour and your own state line up. Give it your attention rather than treating it as background sound: the tradition holds that a raga works on the mind through sustained listening, not ambience. Ten to twenty minutes is enough to feel the shift. It is pointed to for dispassion, sadness, devotion.
