Raag Saraswati is a very sweet Raag and has been imported from Carnatic Music. In this Raag Pancham-Rishabh Sangati is Raag Vachak. Madhyam Teevra is the vital note of this Raag. Komal Nishad is used as: R M P D S’ n D ; M P n D ; R M P S’ n D ; P M D P (M)R ,n ,D S. The following combinations clearly bring out the Raag mood.
