Avarohana

The descending movement used to outline a raga.

Avarohana gives a raga's descending svara sequence. The notes and their order need not simply reverse the ascent.

Example

Abhogi descends Ṡ D2 M1 G2 R2 S. Bilahari has a five-note ascent but a seven-note descent: omitted ascending notes return on the way down.
