Scale: C kafi raga
Description: A Hindustani raga associated with the Kafi thaat, roughly analogous to the Western Dorian / natural minor with flexible intonation of 3rd and 7th. It is central to light-classical and folk-based forms and has been adapted in Indo-jazz and film music to provide a gentle, pastoral minor-modal mood.
