This reference gives 9 PM–midnight, with seasonal flexibility in spring, and permits occasional shuddha Ma. The outline is illustrative, not a complete chalan. 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.
