The flow of this raga is similar to a mix of Madhumad Sarang / Megh and Darbari.
Another common vivadi some artists use sparingly is shuddha nishad which enhances the Saranga mood of the raga.
Arohana: Avarohana: Ṡ Ḏ Ṉ P G̱ M R S Flat Ga is usually omitted in ascent and in descent always appears in the distinctive Kanada phrase g m R S. Flat Dha is present in descent, but one should never linger on it.
