A Scientific Exploration of the Time Theory in Hindustani Ragas

Indian classical music is quite a diverse area having two forms: Hindustani and Carnatic where raga is the nucleus. Time of rendition of a raga is given due importance in Hindustani classical music. This work is an attempt for investigating time domain as well as frequency domain features of different ragas which are rendered during day and night. As there are views both for and against the time theory of ragas, we seek a scientific exploration in order to reveal some truths.
