How to know it

Shadava–Sampurna (vakra)

Jeeva swaras — the life notes:G2G2N2N2

Soft-spoken pathos; a rakti raga that unfolds best in slow, weighty kritis; its rasa is karuna, bhakti.

Gandhara and nishada are markedly elongated and oscillated — the slow ujjal treatment that separates Nayaki from its sibling Darbar.
