Shuddha Gandhar in Hindustani music refers to the higher Gandhar, which is equivalent to
Antara Gandhar (4 shrutis from Sa) in Carnatic theory.
·
Antar Gandhar is the Carnatic term for the higher Ga, not the lower one.
·
Shuddha Rishabh is the note Re (Rishabha), which is a completely different note from Gandhar.
