It is generally accepted that there is much thermal energy in Raag Kedar and hence it is regarded as the Raagini of Raag Deepak. While preceeding from Shuddha Madhyam (m) to Pancham (P), a touch of Gandhar (G) or a smooth passage from Gandhar (G) to Pancham (P) expressed as m G P is the more common way of instant Raag manifestation.
However, one may avoid Gandhar with repetition of Shuddha Madhyam (m) such as m m P ; m p also. Shuddha Nishad (N) is much less employed in Avroh S’ S’ D P ; S’ R R’ S’ D D P etc helps in eliminating Nishad. Though an occasional Shuddha Nishad in Avroh is employed: S’ N D P M P D P m and Komal Nishad (n) with M P D P ; M P D n D P ; M P m is permitted.
In Aaroh also M P S’ ; MP DP MP S’ or MP DP S‘ is preferred to M P D N S’ followed by R’ S’ N S D D P ; D P M P m S R S for better effect.
