Sa and Pa are Achal अचल Swar they do not have any Komal or Tivra. They are fixed notes as per North Indian music tradition.
Yes what I am telling is as per North Indian music system
सा और प अचल स्वर हैं इनका कोमल या तीव्र स्वर नहीं होता है. ये जानकारी उत्तर भारतीय संगीत परंपरा के अनुसार है.
Play twinkle twinkle little star on your piano or harmonium with these notes. It is very simple


also play johny johny yes papa

  4. Thanks so much, this has been a big help at understanding how the Indian notes are being translated into the western chords.
    Another question that I have is:
    (a)How do denote the difference in different saptaks, like the mandra saptak, madhya and the taar saptaks?
    (b) What does "#" denote?
