Important Notes-
It is clear from the Name itself that it is a mixture of these two raag Nat and Kedar. Sa Re Sa Ma in Kedar Ang, and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in Nat Ang, use swars groups. Nishad is short in the aaroh. Some musician have also considered Ni is not used in aroh, but Nishad is also used in ascending fast vowel-groups. Like RaGa Kedar, in this also koaml Ni is used like a controversy in the avaroh. While showing Kedar Ang, we rely on shudha means. Tiwra Ma is used in ascending vowels with Pancham similar to Ga Kedar.
