Reading the notes ↗

The outline, Asavari grouping, Ma–Sa pair and midnight–3 AM period follow Tanarang. Its listed six-note ascent classification includes broader phrase treatment; this short ascent has five pitch classes. The reference distinguishes Malkauns-ang and Bageshri-ang approaches. 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.
