A scale is just a prescribed set of notes. So long as you use only those notes, you can combine them in any way you want. A raga is a bit more specific. Within the framework of the scale, the ascending and descending scales are defined separately. This makes it possible to get many ragas from each scale.

Ragas are the backbone of Indian classical music, but ragas are classified in various ways. One system is to classify them under ten parent scales, known as "thaat". These are quite similar to the concept of modes in ancient Greek music.

The web site contains a Data Base of 1800+ Ragas and gives Basic theoretical information (Raga Swaroopa) of Common and Rare Ragas and audio samples illustrating briefly the Melodic structure of 850+Ragas.

Raga Yaman, also known as Raga Kalyan, is one of the most widely performed ragas in both Hindustani and Carnatic classical music traditions of India. It is considered a fundamental raga and is often taught to beginners due to its melodic richness and versatility.

A 'Raga' is a melodic mode (similar to a scale) of 5 to 9 notes, used to form a melody in Indian classical music....."A tonal framework for composition and improvisation". Ragas are often associated with the seasons and times of the day. We endeavour to dispatch all orders which are in stock on the day the order has been placed.

This page gives you an introduction to raga parent scales through some of the best-loved ragas in Indian classical music – Yaman, Bhimpalasi, Bageshree, Jhinjhoti, Jaunpuri, Bihag, and Bhupali.

This document provides a sampling of 35 North and South Indian musical scales called ragas, including their solfeggio patterns, traditional performance times, and characteristic notes. Ragas can have ascending and descending note patterns and different notes can act as a central focus.
