Swara map

Komal Re, komal Ga, tivra Ma, and komal Dha; Pa and shuddha Ni remain available, though Pa may be weak or skipped in characteristic movement.

Beginner focus

  1. Practise very slowly; the equal-tempered browser notes are only an orientation for Todi’s nuanced intonation.
  2. Keep tivra Ma distinct from Pa and from shuddha Ma.
  3. Shape the re–ga–re–Sa close instead of treating komal Re and Ga as fixed passing semitones.

Common mistakes

  • Substituting shuddha Ma for tivra Ma.
  • Playing a straight seven-note scale and missing Todi’s curved movement.
  • Assuming equal-tempered pitch captures ati-komal inflection and ornament.

Reference and variation

This page uses a widely taught beginner outline. Raga treatment, characteristic phrases, intonation, and vadi–samvadi descriptions can differ across gharanas and authorities. Compare the notation with listening and your teacher’s approach.
