Raga identification made easy!

Blog : Week 569 Updates


Dear Rasikas,

Several rasikas and music students have been requesting me to explain the basic swara structure and classification in Carnatic music. Yes, it is very important to understand the different swara positions since there lies the foundation for learning the different ragas and compositions.

There are actually 12 distinctly different swara positions, but considering the 4 Vivadi swaras, there would be totally 16 swara positions. In this video, I have tried to demonstrate the 16 Swara Sthanas in Carnatic music and I hope it would be helpful to all. Please watch, share and send in your comments :)



Keep your quiz answers coming and have a great week ahead!
