 | | Raag, in the Sanskrit dictionary, is defined as "the act of coloring or dyeing" (the mind in this context) and "any feeling or passion especially love, affection, sympathy, vehement desire, interest, joy, or delight". |
 | | A recital explores a raag in an non-metered form and/or within the confines of a cyclical rhythmic structure, using intricate ornamentation of notes. |
 | | First the raag is introduced with a note or group of notes, and then the improvisation progresses to a more melodically and rhythmically complex form. |
