Raga charts

Raga charts are visual representations of musical scales used in Indian classical music. They outline specific ascending (Aarohana) and descending (Avarohana) note patterns, highlighting which notes are emphasized or ornamental, and the characteristic phrases that define each raga’s mood and personality. Think of them as detailed maps guiding musicians on how to craft the raga’s distinctive sound, ensuring consistency and expressive depth. These charts serve as foundational references for learning, improvisation, and composition within the raga system.
