The
two main traditions of classical music are Carnatic music, which was found
predominantly in the peninsular areas, and the Hindustani music found in the
northern and central areas. The basic concepts of this music include Swara,
Alankar, Shruti, Tala and Raga. Its tonal system divides the octave into 22

quarter of a whole tone of the western music. Melody is based on the system of
ragas, which are melody types used as the basic for invention.
