Scale similarities

[edit]
  • Gambhiranata raga is a symmetrical Carnatic raga with N3 (Kakali Niṣāda) in both ascending and descending scales,[2] while Tilang uses Kaisiki Niṣāda (N2) in descending scale.
  • Savitri raga is a symmetrical Carnatic raga with N2 (Kaisiki Niṣāda) in both ascending and descending scales,[2] while Tilang uses Kakali Niṣāda (N3) in ascending scale.

Tilang therefore has the Arohana (ascending scale) of Gambhiranata, and Avrohana (descending scale) of Savitri.[2]
