Discover which raga belongs to this very moment. The Time Wheel maps 100+ ragas across the 24-hour day, guided by centuries of Indian classical tradition.
Raga Explorer is your guide to the ancient world of Indian classical music.
THE TIME WHEEL
At the heart of Raga Explorer is an interactive clock showing which ragas are traditionally performed at each hour of day and night. Indian classical music has always been tied to time: certain ragas belong to the stillness of pre-dawn, others to the heat of noon, the romance of dusk, or the quiet of midnight. Drag the needle or tap the clock icon to jump to the current hour.
EXPLORE 100+ RAGAS
Browse a curated collection of ragas from both the Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) traditions. Each entry includes:
• Aroha & Avaroha — ascending and descending scale
• Vadi & Samvadi — primary and secondary notes
• Rasa — the emotional essence the raga evokes
• Traditional time and season of performance
• Thaat / Melakarta family classification
MOOD & RASA
