Raag Adana resembles Raag Darbari Kanada, with the difference that Gandhar is forbidden in Aaroh in Adana. This Raag is rendered mostly in Madhya and Tar Saptaks unlike Raag Darbari Kanada, which is more deep and hence is rendered in Madhya and Mandra Saptaks (Octaves). In this Raag, Komal Gandhar and Komal Dhaivat should not be repeated (oscillated) otherwise Raag Darbari Kanada makes its appearance. Like Darbari Kanada, this Raag does not employ Meend and Gamak, as this is a flittering dynamic type melodic form.
Although Gandhar is Varjya in Aaroh, but it is rendered in g m R S in Avroh as it is a Kanada Ang Raag. In Avrohi Taans, sometimes Dhaivat is skipped like – S’ n P m g m R S. The Nishad of Aaroh is on a higher shruti then the regular Komal Nishad.
The following combination brings out the melodic picture of the Raag –
S R m P ; d n P ; m P S’ d n P ; m P ; g m R S
