Structure and Lakshana edit

Kedaram is an asymmetric scale that does not contain dhaivatam. It is called a vakra audava-shadava rāgam,[1][2] in Carnatic music classification. This classification implies that it has 5 notes in ascending scale with zig-zag notes and 6 notes in descending scale. Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):
