Carnatic Music
Carnatic music is a classical music tradition that originated in South India and is one of the two main sub-genres of Indian classical music (the other being Hindustani music from North India). Rooted in ancient traditions, Carnatic music is known for its intricate melodic structures, rhythmic complexity, and devotional essence. Carnatic music is not just a performing art but a medium of cultural preservation and spiritual expression. It is deeply intertwined with temple traditions, festivals, and the spiritual ethos of South India, inspiring generations of musicians and audiences worldwide.
