Arabhi

Closest Western scale / mode

Ionian / major-related · asymmetric

With Sa = C: ascent C D F G A; descent C B A G F E D C. Characteristic emphasis and gamakas distinguish it from Devagandhari.

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.
