Explanation

Shadav. In Hindustani classical music, the classification of ragas based on the number of notes in their ascending and descending scales (aroha and avaroha) is called "jaati." "Audav" refers to a five-note raga, "Shadav" to a six-note raga, and "Sampoorna" to a seven-note raga. "Tishra" is a term related to rhythm (tala).
