Similarity between Jogia and Komal Rishav Aasavari

Now coming to the question of similarity between Jogia and Komal Rishav Aasavari (KRA), Shri Bhatkhande has classified Jogia under Bhairav Thaat. According to him its structure resembles with Raag Saveri under Carnatik System except that in Saveri G is used in avaroha, which is vrjit in Jogia both in aaroha and avaroha. In Jogia n is at times used in avaroha as d n d .
There is no mention of Joghia in old Sanskrit Texts. Its aaroha-avaroha is S r m P d S' - S' n d P, d., m r S.
Vadi  -m     Samvadi  - S        r >m and d>m sangiti is  very important
Now a days in practice singers mix Aasavari while singing Jogia. Although Aasavari in its present form uses shuddha rishav, in old Sanskrit texts it has komal rishav and has been classified  under Bhairav. So Jogia and KRA can easily mix with each other.  S r, r m m P, d S' aaroha can be done in both the above raags but avaroha will be different as gandhar and nishad are komal in Aasavari. Komal nishad is also used at times in Jogia as mentioned above.
Pt. Vinayak Rao Patvardhan has classified  Jogia as Jogi Aasavari as a mishra Raag using both forms of  R G N d and S P with Jaati as audav sampoorna.  Aaroha-avaroh --S r m P d S'  - S' R' n d P, d P m g r S    Vadi -S     Samvadi - P
     So it is inivitable that in  Jogia we may get glimpse of Komal Rishav Aasavari.
There is another Raag known as Gunakri (some call it Gunkali also) with Aaroha like Jogia but in avaroha n is also varjit. It is sung with Bhairav ang and in slow tempo and can be easily differentiated from Jogia. Its vadi and samadi are d and r respectively.
