Manirangu

Closest Western scale / mode

Dorian subset · asymmetric

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

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.
