  Musical Nirvana - Technical Introduction to Indian Classical Music - Raaga
Raaga is so called because, it creates a particular mood in the listeners.
Also, in some Raagas, the ascending or descending note sequence is not purely ascending or descending.

 CMANA - Carnatic Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A specific set of notes in the ascending and descending scales defines a raaga and the music is set to a rhythmic pattern called taala.
Indeed, the raaga is system is complex in that a raaga is specified not only by a set of notes, but in addition by precise gamakaas (shifting of the frequency of those notes) and specific phraseology (chains of notes for that raaga).
Such improvisations, though used as a yardstick by which musicians are judged, however, must be made within the strict confines of the raaga and taala.

Raaga is a very small-sized restaurant in Indira Nagar.
Right opposite Shanti Sagar (and everyone in Indira Nagar, and most of Bangalore, knows where Shanti Sagar is) but you'd have to look very hard to see it.
Two stories worth of restaurant though (three or four tables on the ground floor and a few more on the first floor), which is a relief, as it's quite popular.

Replacing Mother India in Chatsworth, Raaga is a neat and comfortable new Indian restaurant, consisting of a single, spacious dining room decorated in invitingly fresh yellow and green tones.
Its sauces don't appear to possess that somewhat heavy gloppiness that may be attributed to too much ghee, a form of clarified butter used extensively in Indian cooking.
If you're a bit adventurous, you should go for Raaga's goat pickle plate ($12.99) that has goat on the bone floating in a rich, piquant brown sauce tinged with vinegar.

While the latter will be competing in the Best Foreign Film category, Morning Raaga will be competing as an English film in the mainstream categories.
But I have discovered  the filmmaker in myself. I think Morning Raaga is successful as it reflects the true Indian culture.
Just as Morning Raaga was more towards the mainstream than my first film Mango Souffle.

 Morning Raaga and the Oscar cacophony
And Dattani is wrong when he states that Morning Raaga is the first Indian film to be entered in the mainstream category.
The screenings should be held in Los Angeles, New York and London -- a major way by which producers and distributors attempt to draw attention to their films.
The Times' editors had decided that Morning Raaga was not an important film and so it did not warrant more space in its busy Friday arts section.

Dattani is too intelligent not to have already seen the folly of his hasty claims, and Barua is too decent a man to raise a stink.
These are the very people who are used every year by canny filmmakers to plant reports about one Mumbai film or another being in the Cannes Film festival line-up.
What it shows is that instead of relying on the Film Federation of India (FFI), which knows even less about world cinema trends than the aforementioned journalists, to nominate his film for a single Oscar category, an Indian filmmaker can take the mainstream route and jump into the Oscar fray on his own.

Maamis would ask me to sing and then give me "expert advice" on technique, gammukkam, taalam (like I went to music class with some other intention!) and succeeded in killing any residual interest I may have had in classical music.
Today I regret giving up learning, but try and see the world through the eyes of a 14 year old who has been learning music from the age of 4, who is interested in good music and not necessarily in raagas and azhuttam and all the associated stuff and you'll know what I mean.
