The linked tradition places it at 9 PM–midnight and emphasises Pa and Re. Its two Madhyams have contextual uses; they are not interchangeable. 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.
