How to know it

Audava–Audava · Bhashanga

Bright, devotional lightness — a borrowed Hindustani colour that Carnatic musicians reserve for thillanas, bhajans and concert-enders.

Anya (foreign) swaras:N3N3Kakali nishadam (N3) is integral to the ascent — the raga uses both nishadas, N3 going up and the mela's own N2 coming down.
