Description

A highly readable lucid narrative explaining the symbolic significance of the Ragas and Raginis, immortalized by the author in a series of beautiful paintings.

The Indian music is woven with legends and traditions of the poetic fancies and reveries of the human soul and spirit of the country.

Sur Adhaya (Law of tone)
Tala Adhaya (Law of Rhythm)
Ast Adhaya (Law of Musical Instruments) and
Raga Adhaya (Law of Tune)

First published in 1925, this edition is a reprint of a highly acclaimed work.
