At the very least, 16 notes are needed for all melakarta raagas to be realised, and various scholars have estimated the number of notes as 22, 24, 48, 96 etc. I have some resources on this at home, I will scan and compile and send them to you sometime over the next week. Quite interesting to read.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, do continue this wonderful series of articles. Understanding the 12 note system is essential to progress any further, and I think you're doing a great job in enriching all our knowledge. :)kannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15421022794819566062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826580925485398255.post-2667863304597829832008-08-13T21:26:00.000-04:002008-08-13T21:26:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link, Kavitha.Yes, though there are...Thanks for the link, Kavitha.<BR/><BR/>Yes, though there are main 7 swaras, I am planning to cover the other 5 variation notes of Ri, Ga, Ma, Da, Ni in my next post.Emjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265144560309170456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826580925485398255.post-65108765448154637242008-08-13T19:54:00.000-04:002008-08-13T19:54:00.000-04:00Scale is a collection of notes in ascending and de...Scale is a collection of notes in ascending and descending order.<BR/><BR/>There are actually 12 diff notes.

I either couldn't understand it or the lessons were not up to layman's understanding. <BR/><BR/>Emjay, this is a good starter for me.
