Raag Sohini is a raga in Hindustani classical music in the Marwa thaat. It is a small raga, with not much space for elaboration. It emotes the feel of longing, of passive sensuousness.

The raga is of audav-shadav nature, i.e., it has five swaras (notes) in the arohana (ascent) and six in the avarohana (descent). Rishabh (Re) is komal and Madhyam (Ma) is tivra, while all other swaras are shuddha. Pancham (Pa) is not used. The vadi swara is Dha, and samvadi is Ga. The rishabh is weak, but Gandhar (Ga) is strong, unlike Marwa. It is an Uttaranga pradhan raga, with the higher notes on the saptak (octave) being used more frequently.

The raga is said to be inspired by the love story of Sohni Mahiwal, a Punjabi folktale about a young woman who falls in love with a ferryman. The raga is often used to express the emotions of love, longing, and separation.

Some of the characteristic features of Raag Sohini include:
The use of the komal rishabh (Re)
The absence of the pancham (Pa)
The strong emphasis on the dhaivat (Dha) and gandhar (Ga)
The use of slow, sustained notes
The use of melismatic passages

Raag Sohini is a beautiful and evocative raga that can be used to express a wide range of emotions. It is a popular raga for vocal and instrumental performances, and it is also used in film music.

Here are some famous compositions in Raag Sohini:
