Carnatic Music
The Hindustani and Carnatic music are two distinct forms of Indian music. The latter one, Carnatic music, is hugely popular in the southern part of India. Though it is believed that all music forms of India have their source in the vedas, in Kerala itself, Carnatic music was made popular by the efforts of the musician king of the erstwhile Travancore state, Swathi Thirunal. Carnatic music is based on well composed musical pieces called Kritis that follow a definite pattern to present ragas in all its emotional and textual ramifications. The music is beautifully backed up by instruments like the tambura, the mridangam, the ghatam, the Ganjira, the violin and the morsing.
