Tanarang places this at midnight–3 AM; Darbar describes an early-morning tradition. The profile leaves the time flexible to retain both accounts. Hindol is distinct from Carnatic Hindolam. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. Outlines do not replace phrase grammar. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
