Reading the notes ↗

The cited outline uses shuddha Ma prominently, with tivra Ma and komal Ni restricted in some interpretations. Because these variants complicate a single scale label, the profile leaves its thaat unclassified. No fixed principal-note pair or time window is imposed here. 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.
