The reference highlights a Bilawal-influenced descending Ni gesture and cautions against drifting toward Bhatiyar. Anand Bhairav is distinct from Carnatic Anandabhairavi. Shorthand: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Octave positions are not added to the reference shorthand. Unassigned fields are not a claim of an anytime tradition. The selected daily window follows Raagtime; it does not erase gharana differences or seasonal flexibility. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
