The main defining features of a raga are its ascending and descending scales, ornamentation, & the relative prominence of each note in its scale. There are special notes in each raga called vadi, samvadi, nyasa (landing or resting notes), deergha (elongated) and alpa (weak) notes.
This video illustrates the defining elements of a raga by comparing & contrasting two similar yet different ragas - Bhimpalasi and Dhani.

I provide Western-style scores to help illustrate Indian classical music concepts to a non-Indian audience. The scores are not intended to teach Western notation through Indian music, or to teach Indian music through Western notation. Also, note that in many cases, the Western music symbols used are only approximations and cannot be interpreted exactly the way they would be in Western music.
