Bilawal is the editorial family grouping; both Ni forms occur. The displayed outline follows Howlett and the morning window follows the time index. Kesarbai’s differently classified Devi Durge is excluded. 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.
