NCPA’s named Mashkoor Ali Khan performance and late-morning description supply the selected account. No single scalar outline is imposed. Khat Todi remains distinct. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Unmarked octave positions are not inferred. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
