This profile follows Tanarang’s five-to-seven-note Hindustani outline and Sa–Pa emphasis; a fuller Carnatic scale is not imposed on that outline. Its thaat is left Unclassified. 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.
