Özet
Müzik sanatı ezelden beri Hindistan’da kültürün önemli bir parçası olmuştur. İnsanlar müziğe karşı duydukları sevgi ve anlayışıyla müziğin ilahi bir güce sahip olduğuna inanmışlar. Müzik ve dansın etkileyici gücü, insan ruhunu daha iyi kavramak, insan ve doğa arasındaki sürekli bir bağlantı gerçekleştirmek için yardımcı olur. Hatta bir efsanede ünlü müzisyen ve besteci Thyagaraja’nın ölmüş birinin müzikle hayata döndürdüğü söyleniyor. Hint kültürünün asırlık gelenekleri, bugüne kadar bütünlüğünü ve özgünlüğünü koruyabilmiştir. Hiç şüphesiz, geleneksel Hint müziği sistemi bu zamana kadar var olan en gelişmiş ve sofistik müzik sistemlerinden biridir. Melodik raga modelleri, şruti mikro aralıkları ve karmaşık ritmik talalardan oluşan bu müzik, dünya kültürü için oldukça değerli bir katkıdır. Böyle bir müzik yabancı dinleyiciyi bile hayran bırakarak onda derin duyguların canlanmasında etkilidir. Hint müziği çeşitlilik açısından oldukça zengindir.
Bu araştırmanın amacı, Hint müzik kültürünü analiz etmekle birlikte, geleneksel Hindustani ve Karnatak müzik tarzlarını vurgulamak, melodik raga ve metroritmik tala sistemlerinin üslup karakterlerini tanımlamaktır.

life with music. Centuries-old traditions of Indian culture still maintain their integrity
and originality. No doubt, the traditional Indian music system is still one of the most
advanced and sophisticated one. This music consisted of the melodious models of ragas,
complex rhythmic of talas and micro-intervals shruti is a very valuable contribution to
the world culture. Such kind of music is capable to leave deep emotions of admiration
at even the most ordinary listener. Indian music is very rich in terms of variety.
