Can someone please tell me about the mapping of the western notes to carnatic ones. I have searched on this but still am confused. I want to know clearly how C,C#,D,D#,E, F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B - each of these 12 notes map to the 16 notes of carnatic music. Also I haven't figured out the thumb rule of playing raagas with different Arohana and Avarohana. So my fav raga is Hamsadhwani
