Swarasthanas are the specific variants of musical notes (swaras) that define a raga's unique melodic structure. The swarasthanas of Raga Sri are:

Shadjam (Sa) – The base tonic note.
Chatusruti Rishabham (Ri2) – The second note, sharp variant.
Sadharana Gandharam (Ga2) – The third note, soft variant.
Sudda Madhyamam (Ma1) – The natural fourth note.
Panchamam (Pa) – The perfect fifth.
Chatusruti Daivatam (Dha2) – The sixth note, sharp variant.
Kaisika Nishadam (Ni2) – The seventh note, soft variant.
These notes create the distinct melodic identity of Raga Sri.
