NALINAKANTHI
Want to experience the peaceful rain of the night ? Nalinakanthi is the best option . With its soft note progression , gracefulness and gentle fervour , Nalinakanthi is a wonderful raaga to explore in the monsoon . Listen to Saint Thyagaraja ’ s “ Manavi Aalakincharaadate ” for the best results !

HINDOLAM
05
: In the lookout for a different dimension of rain that is more classical oriented ? Hindolam is the right choice for it . The pentatonic scale is marvellous to hear and relish . Whether it is an elaborate RTP by legends like Madhura Mani Iyer or a swift instrumental by U . Srinivas on the mandolin , Hindolam is an all-time hit for the monsoon !
SINDHU BHAIRAVI
This might be an odd choice but the depth of the raaga is what makes it a perfect choice for rainy season . Rain is not just about raindrops falling from the angry clouds , but also has masterful depth to it . We recommend to listen to “ Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai ” the ultimate classic in the raaga and of course “ Mile Sur Mera Tumhara ” the eternal masterpiece .
07
CHAKAVAKAM
: A sweet yet raaga that has enormous depth , Chakravakam evokes multitudes of emotions during rain . It speaks of romance that is passionate , soft and gentle . Who doesn ’ t say no for such amazing combination ? As the rain falls by , relish the beautiful notes of Chakravakam dancing over !
Music is undoubtedly an inherent part of our lives and we are extremely fortunate to have raagas for every season to evoke different emotions evert single time !
