WHAT is RAGA- RASA Concept?

The Raga-Rasa concept, often heard but seldom deeply understood, bridges the scientific and cultural aspects of Indian classical music. It aims to revive & raise awareness about our rich Indian classical music heritage, making complex traditions accessible and comprehensible to both younger & older audiences

This approach encourages learning about traditional classical music while fostering discussions on its cultural relevance today. The core of the concept is an interactive performance leading to further conversations.

BACK GROUND OF THUMRI

Thumri, a delicate and emotive form of Indian classical music, holds a distinctive place in the rich tapestry of the country’s musical heritage. Originating from the northern regions of India, 

Thumri has evolved over the centuries, adapting to changing cultural landscapes while retaining its essence as a profound expression of human emotion.

Thumri finds its roots in the rich musical traditions of North India, particularly in the regions of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal.Its emergence can be traced back to the 18th century, during 

the reign of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the last ruler of Awadh (present-day Lucknow).

Thumri stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of Indian classical music. From its humble origins in the 18th century to its present-day status as a cherished form of artistic expression, Thumri has traversed a remarkable journey. Its ability to resonate with listeners on an emotional level, coupled with its capacity for innovation, ensures that Thumri remains a timeless and 

integral part of India’s cultural heritage and the enduring power of classical music to transcend time and connect with the human spirit.
