Illustrative outline from the linked teaching tradition. The g m R S turn is important; a pitch inventory alone does not define the raag. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
