Raga system

The Raga system is a framework in Indian classical music that defines a set of musical notes and guidelines for improvisation and composition. Each raga evokes specific emotions and is associated with particular times of day or seasons. It consists of a scale (similar to Western music scales) and unique melodic patterns, which musicians use to create intricate performances. The Raga is more than just a melody; it encompasses mood, character, and cultural significance, allowing artists to express deep emotions and connect with listeners on a profound level.
