The reference stresses Ma-touched Re and Malhar phrase treatment, which distinguish the framework from a plain note inventory. Its seasonal time is flexible; naming and variants can differ by lineage. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
