Note how different raga scales can be created by following the lines from left to right that connect the possible scale tones. While sa (the tonal center) and pa (the perfect fifth above the tonal center) are fixed and do not vary, the other scale degrees—ri, ga, ma, da, ni—each has two or three

Different forms of the scale degrees are created by lowering or raising the scale degrees in half-step increments.
