Music Instrument

New Page 3

Indian Music is very important to Hinduism. Indian Music actually refers to an old music, a traditional one based on raga and a rhythmic system called "tala". Raga is considered to be the melodic basis of Indian classical music. The sounds produced by Ghungru vary greatly in pitch depending on their metallic composition and size. Ghungroos serve to accentuate the rhythmic aspects of the dance and allow complex footwork to be heard by the audience. They are worn immediately above the ankle, resting on the lateral malleolus and medial malleolus.
