Arohana
The ascending movement used to outline a raga.
Arohana gives a raga's ascending svara sequence. It may proceed straight upwards or include turns and skipped notes.
Example
Abhogi ascends S R2 G2 M1 D2 Ṡ. Pa and Ni are absent. The dot above Ṡ marks the upper Sa.
Read the ascent together with the avarohana. Gamaka and characteristic phrases explain how the outline becomes music.
