Bhatiyar
A dawn raag with komal Re and both forms of Ma. Its identity depends on curved phrase movement and resting notes, rather than a straight ascent.

This profile follows Tanarang: shuddha Ma is emphasized in descent, while tivra Ma approaches the upper region. Re and Ni are restrained in ascent. 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.
