Reading the notes ↗

The pitch outline and emphasis follow the linked Tanarang reference. A scale is a starting point; characteristic movement and treatment distinguish the raag. The reference also permits any time during the rainy season. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.

FROM THE CLASSICAL TO THE CINEMATIC
