Our Story

LearnRagas.com was born from a deep love for Indian classical music and a vision to preserve this ancient art form for future generations. In an age where traditional knowledge risks being lost, we saw the need for a comprehensive, accessible, and accurate digital resource.

Indian classical music, with its intricate ragas and profound philosophy, has been passed down through the guru-shishya parampara (teacher-student tradition) for centuries. While this oral tradition is invaluable, we believe that digital resources can complement traditional learning methods, making this beautiful art form accessible to anyone with curiosity and passion.

Our team has meticulously researched and compiled information from authoritative sources, consulted with musicians and scholars, and presented it in a way that honors tradition while embracing modern accessibility.
