Reading the notes ↗

The outline, Pa–Sa emphasis and noon–3 PM period follow Tanarang. A shared pitch collection does not make it identical to Pilu or Dhanashri. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. These are phrase outlines, not complete performance grammar. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
