Asthai is the basic and opening part of the raga. It is repeated throughout the alaap.

Asthai brings together melody, rhythm and tempo. It has definite form and is repeated

from time to time. It offers the raga a framework, a skeleton for the performer to fill in

with his improvisation. It generally moves in the lower tetrachord.
