    1. Every raga follows a specific sequence of notes:
      • Aroha (Arohanam in Carnatic music) – The ascending order of notes.
      • Avaroha (Avarohanam in Carnatic music) – The descending order of notes.
      For example, Raga Bhoop follows:
      Aroha: S R G P D Ṡ
      Avaroha: Ṡ D P G R S
      These patterns define a raga’s identity, guiding musicians in performance and improvisation.
