Nata Nagara

Classical import from Carnatic. But very different in every respect.

Western minor scale

S R g M P d N S
S N d P M g R S

madhyamanga raag

Re becomes very important
Komal dha and Komal Dha creates the pathos of the raag.
No nyaas on Ma
Skip the ma on the descent

Durbalata of the Ma - pa Dha pa Ga Re . It's as if Ma never existed.
Re Ga Ma Pa Ga Re ... Ga Re Ni.. Sa.

Re - wadi
Pa - Samwadi

Pakkad
P d P M d P g R

Late evening - night raag
Kafi Thaat - closer to Kaafi because of Pilu , Gara and Patdeep. Very similar to Kirwani but all have Shuddha Dha.

Upper octave can show pathos (d)

Yaad na jaaye
Tose naina laage
Meri bheegi bheegi
lage na mora jiya
Mera dil ye pukaare aaja
Ae husn
