Getting Started

Know the Raag, then play or sing it

A Raag is more than a scale. It has its own notes to emphasise, its own way of ascending and descending, a characteristic phrase and a time of day. The Raag introduction covers all of that — and the notation lets you practise it.

What's Inside

Every Raag, laid out the same clear way

Each Raag in the eBook follows a consistent structure, so once you've read one, you know exactly where to look in the next. You study the identity of the Raag first, then a composition in notation, then practice material.

The eBook is clearly typeset in English sargam notation (S R G M P D N), with Bandish lyrics transliterated into Roman script — easy to read and easy to follow on your music stand.

01

Thaat, Jaati & Swar

The parent thaat, the jaati (for example Sampurna–Sampurna or Audav–Audav) and which swars are komal, teevra or varjit.

02

Vadi–Samvadi & Gayan Samay

The most important notes of the Raag and its traditional time of performance.

03

Aroh, Avroh & Pakad

How the Raag ascends and descends, and the characteristic phrase that identifies it.

04

Bandish in Notation

A composition with Sthayi and Antara, written out beat by beat with the taal marks (Sam, Khali, Taali) shown.

05

Taans for Practice

Written-out taans you can practise once you are comfortable with the Raag's movement.

Details vary slightly from Raag to Raag — see the free preview pages above.

For Every Hindustani Classical Learner

Learn Raag — use the knowledge across instruments

Raag knowledge isn't tied to one instrument. The same Raag introductions and notation support learners of:

Bansuri Harmonium Sitar Vocal music Other Hindustani classical instruments

This eBook is a Raag reference and notation resource. It does not teach playing or singing technique for any specific instrument.

Beginner-Friendly

New to sargam notation? Start with “How to Read”.

Not familiar with the notation system yet? The eBook opens with a dedicated How to Read the Notation page — komal and teevra swars, upper and lower octaves, held notes and taal marks — so the Raag pages make sense from the very first one.

Basic familiarity with sargam (Sa Re Ga Ma…) will help you get the most out of the book.
