Raga Mood Match

1. A short raga phrase plays over a tanpura drone (tap the orb to replay as often as you like).
2. Pick the mood it belongs to: morning, monsoon, night, devotion or victory.
3. After you answer, you'll meet the raga — its name, its hour of the day and the swaras that give it its colour.
4. 8 rounds. Final rank from Raga Rookie to Raga Sensei.

Ragas grew out of listening: the quality of light at dawn, the restlessness of monsoon rain, the stillness after midnight. Performers traditionally kept hours to match — Bhairav at sunrise, Darbari at midnight, Malhar when the clouds came. That's why film songs choose a raga to set a scene before a single word is sung.
