Raag Sarang is also known as Brindavani or Vrindavani Sarang. The combinations ,N S R R P ; m P ; R R m ; S R S clearly shows the intensity of noon time and the summer season to which the melody is particualrly oriented. The Suhddha Nishad (N) here is placed on the Kshobhini Shruti Sthan, that causes disturbance. Hence the Prakruti of this Raag is neither deep nor playful.

The Swar Sangati R-Pm-Nn-Pm-R are Raag Vachak and the combination R m P (m)R ; n P m R is known as Sarang Ang. Other popular form of Sarang includes: Shuddha Sarang, Miya Ki Sarang, Madhumad Sarang etc. It can be expanded in Madhya and Tar Saptaks.
