The outline, Kafi grouping and Pa–Sa emphasis follow Tanarang. Hindustani Shahana Kanada is distinct from the Carnatic raag Sahana. 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.
