Shuddha Nat
The relatively uncommon independent Nat form underlies many better-known compound raags. Its phrase movement often centres on Ma, with differing Ga emphasis across traditions.

The displayed phrases follow the Hindustani Nat account. Komal Ni and other ornamental variants are documented separately. This is not Carnatic Nata, Nat Bhairav or Nat Bihag. Shorthand: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Octave positions are not added to the reference shorthand. Unassigned fields are not a claim of an anytime tradition. The selected daily window follows Raagtime; it does not erase gharana differences or seasonal flexibility. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
