Could you tell me about the Pakad? In any raga, is the pakad set to a definite rythm, or is it just a sequence of notes that gives familiarity to the raga?

Also, I come from a classical background of 20 years, studying Western music. That music is very structural and has a definite beginning middle and end. It seems a lot of indian music just moves foward and escalates. Is it that the music should only be listenend to in the exact present moment? If so, that's a beautiful concept.

Shivranjani is not a mainstream raga, in the sense that it is mainly used for folk tunes and other semi classical forms. In semi classical ragas, rules are much more relaxed and are open to the artist's interpretation. You may even find other ragas mixed with the semiclassical ragas.

The main phrase in Shivranjani is Sa Re ga Pa -, Dha Pa ga Re Sa ga Re -. The resting place on Re in the descent is a very popular characteristic.

In terms of improvisation of Indian classical music, yes, genererally (almost always), one begins with very slow tempo and long notes and end on faster tempo.
