Abheri

Closest Western scale / mode

Dorian-related · asymmetric

Modern Carnatic usage with Sa = C: ascent C E♭ F G B♭; descent adds A and D. Older versions use A♭; tradition and phrase grammar matter.

A pitch-set comparison, not an exact raga equivalence. Carnatic gamakas and characteristic phrases are not captured by a Western scale; acoustic piano cannot reproduce continuous pitch ornamentation.
