Indian music is divided into two systems: North Indian music and South Indian music.

North India also creates different styles of Hindustani music in different regions, ethnic groups, and families. In North India, it is called Gharana, which means family music. Different musical families have their own traditions and music theories, as well as their own training and inheritance methods. This ethnic music has created different styles of music, which have been passed down to this day and will last forever.

South Indian music is also called Carnatic music, also known as temple or religious music. Whether it is instrumental music, vocal music or religious praise and celebration dance, it is almost all related to Hinduism. The music is paired with different beats, ranging from simple to varied.

Origin:

The origin of Indian music is hidden in the beautiful myth of the music creator. Indians believe that Indian music was created by Lord Shiva. The greatest authority on ancient music in India, who is still revered and worshiped by musicians in India even today, should be the saint Saran Kadiva in the early 13th century.

Later, due to the invasion of Islam in the north, the differences in musical styles between the north and the south gradually affected the differences between the northern and southern music styles. Akbar, the king of the north who believed in Islam, was a monarch who loved music very much. Therefore, during the governance period, its court musicians pioneered North Indian music, and the raga of Indian music was affected and underwent great changes.
