- Vakra janya of Harikambhoji (mela 28)
Raga Surabhi places Nattai Kurinji under Harikambhoji, mela 28. No Hindustani thaat, principal-note pair or listening hour is imposed. It is distinct from Nattai. Carnatic notation: numbered swaras retain the source’s pitch positions; apostrophe indicates upper Sa. The outline does not describe every ornament or permitted phrase. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
