The outline and Ga–shuddha Ni emphasis follow Tanarang. The short ascent omits Dha, though the broader treatment may include it; tivra Ma is described as rare. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. Outlines do not replace phrase grammar. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
