Garudadhvani

[1][2] Garudadhvani is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain madhyamam or nishādham in the descending scale.

[1][2] Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows: The notes used in this scale are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kakali nishadham in ascending scale, with kakali nishadham and shuddha madhyamam skipped in descending scale.

For the details of the notations and terms, see swaras in Carnatic music.

This raga has shades of western music when played in fast pace.
