Abstract

This research paper presents an in-depth analysis of the Haryanvi Saang-style raginis (Ragini 1–8) from the narrative series Adharajan, examined through literary, prosodic, and socio-cultural perspectives. Rooted in the rich oral performance aesthetics of Haryana and the historical milieu of 19th-century Jaipur, the study scans the metric patterns under classical Pingal Shastra, illuminating how vernacular poets synthesized rigid prosodic disciplines with spontaneous oral transmission.

Scholarly Context

This article is part of a broader research series on Haryanvi Ragni literature, examined through the framework of Pingal Shastra and folk-cultural analysis. Complementary studies by the author on Heer–Ranjha and Bhagat Puranmal offer comparative insights into prosody, narrative progression, and gendered voice in North Indian folk traditions.
