Swara map
Only shuddha Sa, Re, Ga, Pa, and Dha. Ma and Ni are omitted in the basic form.
Beginner focus
- Hear the gap from Ga to Pa without inserting Ma.
- Use Ga as a resting point rather than racing to upper Sa.
- Compare the characteristic phrase with a plain pentatonic scale.
Common mistakes
- Adding Ma or Ni out of major-scale habit.
- Assuming every raga with the same five notes has the same melodic identity.
- Playing only the straight scale and never practising Ga-centred phrases.
