Illustrative movement, not a complete performance grammar. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; ’ = upper octave. Raga forms, thaat assignments and time conventions can differ by lineage. The linked references describe the approach used here. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
