Carnatic music is a South Indian form of classical music that evolved from ancient Hindu traditions. The basic elements of Carnatic music are: śruti (the relative musical pitch), swara (the musical sound of a single note), rāga (the mode or melodic formulæ), and tala (the rhythmic cycles). These elements form the foundation of improvisation and composition.
