Raag Tilang
Raag Tilang belongs to the Khamaj thaat and is traditionally sung in the 2nd prahar of the night. It uses five swaras on the way up and five coming down. Phrases centre on Gandhar - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Nishad as samvadi.
Swars: Rishabh and Dhaivat Varjya. Both Nishads. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.

Sargam is written with Sa on C: komal swars are lowercase, teevra Ma is M̄, ʼ before a swar marks the lower (mandra) octave and Ṡ / ʼ after marks the upper (taar) octave. The synth plays plain notes - the gamak, meend, and andolan that bring a raag to life are what you learn in class with an expert.
