Raag Kausi Kanada is rendered in two independent ways: Bageshri Ang and Malkauns Ang. However Malkauns Ang is more popular which is a mixture of two Raags: Malkauns and Kanada. Rendering with good amount of Meend, Khatkas and Gamaks produce a standing sweet melodic effect on the audience.

Alap and Taans are ended with g m R S (Kanada Ang) or g m g S (Malkauns Ang). Rishabh is also taken in Aaroh occasionally as S R g m R S or R g m S.

The following combinations of notes will clearly bring out the Raag mood –
