In this post I will be teaching the application of the concepts of Sruthi and Laya in Carnatic music. Let’s start with Raga and Taalam since Indian Carnatic Music mainly deals with Raga and Tala.

Raagam is basically the scale of notes and Taalam is basically the rhythmic pattern but there is a significant difference and uniqueness that contrasts the Indian            Raga and Tala with western music scales and rhythms. There are seven swaras or Sapthaswaras, and twelve swarasthanas or Dwadasaswarasthanas
