According to legend, music in
India, is traced to the 'shabdha brahma'
Om. Indian music occupies prominent position
with religious traditions and faiths. Music is
intertwined in Indian life and
culture, from birth to death, songs,
dances and musical instruments are
used to every occassion.
The roots for
almost every kind of Indian music can be traced to the
Indian classical music. Indian
music can be classified into
Carnatic and Hindustani
systems. Indian classical music is
complex and rich with direct emotional
appeal. Carnatic music is 'kritis' based and
'sahitya' (lyric) oriented, while Hindustani
music emphasizes to musical
structure and the possibilities in it.
Indian musicians essentially regard
their music as a means of spiritual exploration,
path of realization, in addition to deriving aesthetic
enjoyment.
Indian music refines one's soul,
discipline one's body, make one aware of the
infinite within one, unite one's breath with that of
space and one's vibrations with that of the cosmos.
Indian music is rich in variety and
diversity. Every one will have
something or other to listen and enjoy
in it. There is 'Carnatic'
and 'Hindustani' music for
die-hard classical music enthusiasts and
Ghazals, film music, Indian Pop,
Bhajans etc. for light
music lovers in almost all languages of India
(presently there are 14 official
languages!).
Indian music can be rightly compared
to a ocean, deep and
unmeasurable. We have made an
earnest attempt here to bring
a few facets of Indian music,
classical as well as light music, by
presenting more than 10,000 music clippings
in major Indian languages for
the benefit of music connoisseurs.
We wish you a good enjoyment and a memorable
experience
