The Kalyan grouping and Pa–Re emphasis follow Tanarang’s Hindustani account. The cited five-to-six-note outline allows a six-note ascending variant. Notation: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma; apostrophe = upper octave; comma = lower octave. Outlines do not replace phrase grammar. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
