Hemant
An all-shuddha raag whose ascent omits Re and Pa. Descending phrases restore Re while treating Pa lightly, often through a glide or grace note.

The outline, Ma–Sa emphasis and 9 PM–midnight window follow Tanarang. An ascent resembling Bhinna Shadja does not make the complete raags identical. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. Phrase treatment, not the note list alone, identifies a raag. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
