The dag or "mountain" kargyraa is the lower of the two.
Examples of kargyraa in pop culture would be the cartoon character Popeye, and the lead "singer" of the German heavy metal band, "Rammstein".

Kargyraa is a deep growling sound achieved with a vocal technique called "VVM" (Vocal Ventricular Mode).
In kargyraa you don't do this, but simply open and close your mouth to different degrees if you want to modulate the sound.
Sygyt is like kargyraa except that now we're modulating the sound using the tongue technique described for khoomei.

 Overtone singing: Kargyraa and meditation
During a performance of Kargyraa, the bore diameter of the vocal tract changes at the lips, a pressure node for all modes.
I hypothesize that periodic vorticity bursts at the diffuser-like supraglottal structures are responsible for producing the strong components at f1 and 2f1.
In Kargyraa, there is a nonlinear coupling between the two pairs of the vocal folds, which can lead to either entrainments or chaos.

Tuvan throat singing is a distinctively wordless vocal style; as the name suggests, the singing is throaty and guttural, producing buzzing, whistling sounds.
Kargyraa produces usually two, but sometimes up to three or four notes using the syllable "uh".
Chylandyk style is not used as often as the others; it mixes elements of sygyt with kargyraa.

 Sed's Khoomei page - Learn Kargyraa
While producing long kargyraa, you should not think as if you were scraping your throat.
So, when you do kargyraa, you will try to produce a note which will be as rich as possible in harmonics, and, only moving your lips, opening or closing your mouth, you will emphasize one of those harmonics.
You simply will listen to a melody because the kargyraa performer has a sound rich in harmonics, and that he selects one of those with his lips.

The singer is holding a drone on the "fundamental" musical tone, while the constituent harmonics of that tone are "selected" and amplified above it to form a melody.
Kargyraa: extremely low fundamental pitch with chest resonance.
The fundamental drone is pitched higher than in kargiraa and the voice sounds very tense, the harmonics in the melody clear and piercing.

The laryngeal voices of throat singing is classified into (i) a drone voice which is the basic laryngeal voice in throat singing and used as drone and (ii) a kargyraa voice which is very low pitched with the range outside the modal register.
In throat singing, the special features of the laryngeal movements are observed by using simultaneous recording of high-speed digital images, EGG, and sound wave forms.
In the kargyraa voice, the VTFs can be assumed to close once for every two periods of closure of the VFs, and this closing blocks airflow and contributes to the generation of the subharmonic tone of kargyraa.
