Atana

The note structures include, "Sadja, Chatusruti Rishabha, Suddha Madhyama, Pancama, Chatusruti Dhaivata, Kaisiki Nishada and as a rare feature, Kakali Nishada in descent.

"[1] It is considered to be a very catchy raga that gives a stage flavor for a musician when everything is going dull in a concert.

[2] Atana is one of those rare organically developed Raga where it doesn't adhere to strict ascending and descending order but has phrases which are used in interwoven patterns in its improvization.

Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms): The swaras used are chatushruti rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, chatushruti daivatam and kakali nishadam.
