Indian Classical Music is sophisticated. Ragya makes it simple. The naturally evolved Raga framework can be trusted to curate music based on the choices nature makes for us over the course of the day. The ragas, which evoke clear emotional responses, naturally align with us, and hence, blend into our lives. Something is compelling, soothing, often haunting, almost primal about Indian classical music. Keen practitioners know that this enigmatic quality of Indian classical music stems from the fact that the notes in raga music are derived from nature itself – from the strings of notes that flow within the 'still sound' of the times of the day. A streaming app meant for those who wish to explore Indian Classical Music and don't where to start from? This app is a fantastic stepping stone! Founder: Aditya DipankarFlutin
