Origins of Indian Music
Indian music boasts a rich heritage and has evolved through several eras over thousands of years. From the ancient tunes of the Vedic period to the complex rhythms of modern Bollywood, Indian music encompasses a vast and diverse spectrum.
Classical Traditions
There are two major classical music traditions in India - Hindustani classical music from the North, and Carnatic classical music from the South. Both have their own unique styles yet share common roots in the ancient Hindu traditions.
Folk and Popular Music
Every region in India has its own distinct style of folk music, reflecting the area's cultural diversity. Popular music has also seen great influence from global trends, yet it retains distinctive Indian elements.
