Karnataka Music, also known as Carnatic Music, is a classical music tradition from the southern part of India. It is characterized by its intricate melodies and rhythmic patterns, often performed with vocal and instrumental elements. The music typically features a rich repertoire of compositions, including krithis and varnams, which are based on various ragas (melodic frameworks) and talas (rhythmic cycles). The tradition has a long history, with roots tracing back to ancient texts and practices. Prominent composers like Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Syama Sastri have significantly contributed to its development. Today, Karnataka Music continues to thrive through performances, festivals, and educational institutions, preserving its cultural heritage.
