Carnatic music comprises hundreds of ragas, broadly categorized into two types: melakarta ragas and janya ragas. Melakarta ragas are the parent scales—there are 72 of them, each with all seven swaras (notes) in both ascending (arohanam) and descending (avarohanam) scales. Examples include Mayamalavagowla, Kalyani, and Shankarabharanam. Janya ragas are derived from melakarta ragas and may have fewer notes, vakra (zigzag) patterns, or special gamakas. Popular janya ragas include Hamsadhwani, Kambhoji, and Bhairavi. Each raga has its own distinct identity, mood, and rules, and they are used to express various emotions and spiritual themes in compositions and improvisations. read less
