Raag Narayani was adapted in Hindustani Music style from Carnatic Music. The presence of Komal Nishad differentiates this Raag from Raag Durga.

In this Raag Pancham is a Nyas Swar and Dhaivat is Deergh (elongated) like: S R P ; m P n D D P . This differentiates this Raag from Raag Surdasi Malhar where Dhaivat is not elongated. This Raag can be expanded in Madhya and Tar Saptak. It creates a soothing atmosphere. The illustrative combinations are:

S R P ; m P ; m P D n D S’ ; m P D S’ ; S’ R n D S’ ; S’ R’ m’ R’ S’ ; S’ n D D P ; m P D P m R ; m R ,n ,D S ;
