Maqam Suzdalara is quite archaic and almost non-existent as an independent maqam, although its sayr is obligatory within nearly every performance and song in every branch of Maqam Rast: the Jins Nahawand on the 5th degree of Maqam Rast is a universal transition device from other modulations, signaling the return to the root Jins Rast on the tonic.
