Reading the notes ↗

Selected source interpretation. Phrase examples and directional inventories are labelled as such; other lineages may differ. Daily windows are selected reference assignments, not rules binding every rendition. A source-listed performance is not an expert-reviewed classification or an approved recording. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
