Rules

Audava-audava (pentatonic) — G and D are varjit in both aaroh and avroh
Only komal Ni (n) is altered; R, m and P are all shuddh
Re is never struck straight — approach it with a Ma kan-swar and give it andolan
Take n in Malhar ang as P n P, never a plain n P — this is what separates Megh from Madhumad Sarang
S (vadi) and P (samvadi) are the resting notes; the mandra n. R S cadence is the signature close
