An untouched genre that drives every human into the unmixed world of neat emotions…

THE BEAUTY OF RAGA MUSIC ON GUITAR

Indian classical music on guitar (aka ragas on guitar) is an untouched genre that represents thousands of years old ancient Indian music heritage. The evolution of Raga is since times immemorial with its roots in Vedas (oldest scriptures).

Raga is a beautiful Indian classical music world in itself, usually played on the traditional old instrument – Sitar, Veena, etc. The exclusivity of Raga Music is that it focuses on a particular human emotion out of ‘nine’ emotions described in Indian classical literature.

Raga on guitar is a celebration of music. It is also an experience of different kinds of musical content and celebrating that journey. Celebrating and cherishing the 9 RASAs (moods) of human emotions
