The selected evening window follows Raagtime; other traditions assign different times. The displayed phrases are one reference outline, not a uniform prescription. It is distinct from Pancham Malkauns and Pancham Jogeshwari. 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.
