This profile follows the Maihar form described in the reference, which distinguishes it from an older similarly named concept involving Khem Kalyan. No universal straight scale is imposed. Shorthand: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Octave positions are not added to the reference shorthand. Unassigned fields are not a claim of an anytime tradition. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
