The outline, Ga–Ni emphasis and 3–6 PM listening window follow Tanarang. The thaat label alone does not convey the two-Ma phrase treatment. 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.
