Kedaram

Closest Western scale / mode

Ionian without the sixth · asymmetric

With Sa = C: ascent C F E F G B C; descent C B G F E D C. The sixth is absent; the ascent is zigzag.

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.
