Reading the notes ↗

The Khamaj grouping and Sa–Pa emphasis follow Tanarang. Sustained Dha treatment helps distinguish this account from Surdasi Malhar. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe/comma mark upper/lower octaves. Phrase outlines are reference-specific. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
