  Hindustani Classical: National Geographic World Music   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Both Hindustani and Carnatic classical music are built on two basic and interrelated elements: raga (also spelled raag or rag), or melodic structure, and tala (taala), or rhythmic cycle.
While raga is often translated as "scale," it means far more: a raga is a self-contained melodic system that dictates not just the given notes and their tonal relationships to each other, but also their ascending and descending structure and characteristic movements, among other elements.
The Hindustani tradition is the flower of Muslim and Persian artistic elements and language being added into the mix since the 13th-century arrival of Muslim conquerors in the northern part of the subcontinent, and the establishment of the culturally influential Mughal Empire in the 16th century.
