Dhanyasi

Closest Western scale / mode

Phrygian-related · asymmetric

With Sa = C: ascent C E♭ F G B♭; descent C B♭ A♭ G F E♭ D♭ C. Different from symmetric Shuddha Dhanyasi.

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.
