hi,

i know that there are 108 carnatic raagas. is there a website that lists all of them and gives the raaga notes for keyboard (or like Ga2, etc?). like Sa Ri Pa - some raaga (in this format)?

i dont understand Ga2, Ni1 also. can someone clarify? Thanks for your help.

Newbie: There are 72 parent scales called mELAs nad there are literally hundreds of janya (derived) ragas. I am preparing a list of the scales of all the ragas that I can get hold of and it will be part of a book that I will publish in the beginning of April.

Hello Newbie! 108 is a favourite number in Indian
culture [would someone better informed like to tell us why?]. But in this connection maybe you are thinking of Thalas rather than ragas?

There is a method of classification of thalas that gives 108!

PS: Lakshman, please advertise your book on the forum when it is available!
