Indian classical music is a rich, ancient tradition from the Indian subcontinent, with two main branches: Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian). It is built on raga (melodic framework) and tala (rhythmic cycle), emphasizing improvisation and microtones. Its roots lie in Vedic texts and the Natyashastra, and it remains a vibrant art form today.
