It is a janya rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes).
[1][2] The similar scales in Hindustani music are Rewa and Bibhas.
It is a symmetric pentatonic scale (audava-audava ragam[1][2] in Carnatic music classification – audava meaning 'of 5').
Its ascending and descending scale (ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure) is as follows: The notes used in this scale are shadjam, shuddha rishabham, antara gandharam, panchamam and shuddha dhaivatham, as per Carnatic music notation and terms for the swaras.
