Kedār
Devotional and lyrical — named for Śiva, sung in the first watch of night.
Kedār takes both Madhyams and uses a strongly vakra ascent. Its identity rests on the phrase S M, M P — a leap from the tonic straight to Madhyam that no other Kalyāṇ rāga makes.

ସ୍ୱରଲିପି ସଙ୍କେତ — କୋମଳ ସ୍ୱର ଛୋଟ ଅକ୍ଷରରେ, ତୀବ୍ର ମଧ୍ୟମ M′, ମନ୍ଦ୍ର ସପ୍ତକ ˌ ଓ ତାର ସପ୍ତକ ′।
ରାଗର ଗତି
Ga is omitted in ascent and touched only lightly in descent. Śuddha Ma is the vādi and the note of rest; tīvra Ma appears in descending turns from Pa. The leap S M must be clean and unhurried.

X = ସମ · 0 = ଖାଲି · ୨, ୩, ୪ = ତାଳି · ଗୋଟିଏ ଘର = ଗୋଟିଏ ମାତ୍ରା · – = ଦୀର୍ଘ ସ୍ୱର।
The sthāyī opens on the S–M leap, which makes it an ideal composition for fixing the rāga's signature in the ear from the first lesson.
