Use the key table to locate lower Ni and upper Sa. The outline does not provide verified note durations; confirm pitch and timing against an authoritative score before attempting the full anthem.
Jana Gana Mana on harmonium for Republic Day
For a school assembly, rehearse with the version your group uses. Work through the displayed phrases one at a time, paying particular attention to the lower Ni and the upper Sa in the later lines. Confirm melody and timing with your teacher before a performance.
What does this written outline show?
The stored symbols use Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha and Ni, including lower Ni (N.) and upper Sa (Ṡ). This key-mapping observation does not verify the anthem’s melody or classify its raga.
Reading the notation: capitals are shuddh notes, lowercase are komal, Ḿ is tivra Ma, Ṡ is the upper Sa, a trailing dot (N.) is the lower octave, | separates phrases and - holds a note. New to Sargam? The harmonium notes guide maps every syllable to a key and a Western pitch.
