contents In our study, we examine a 2D radiation, relativistic, magnetohydrodynamics (Rad-RMHD) accretion flows around a spinning supermassive black hole. We begin by setting an initial equilibrium torus around the black hole, with an embedded initial magnetic field inside the torus. The strength of the initial magnetic field is determined by the plasma beta parameter, which is the ratio of the gas pressure to the magnetic pressure. In this paper, we perform a comparative study of the `magnetically arrested disc (MAD)' and `standard and normal evolution (SANE)' states. We observe that MAD state is possible for comparatively high initial magnetic field strength flow. Additionally, we also adopt a self-consistent two-temperature model to evaluate the luminosity and energy spectrum for our model. We observe that the total luminosity is mostly dominated by bremsstrahlung luminosity compared to the synchrotron luminosity due to the presence of highly dense torus. We also identify similar quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) for both MAD and SANE states based on power density spectrum analysis. Furthermore, our comparative study of the energy spectrum does not reveal any characteristic differences between MAD and SANE states. Lastly, we note that the MAD state is possible for both prograde and retrograde accretion flow.
