In the context of Indian classical music, Swara is a Sanskrit word that means a note in the octave. The seven basicswaras of th

Pa, Dha, and Ni and written S, R, G, M, P, D, N. Collectively these notes are known as the sargam (the word is an acronym of
of the first four swaras). Sargam is the Indian equivalent to solfege, a technique for the teaching of sight-singing. The tone Sa is

In the general sense svara means tone, and applies to chanting and singing. The basic swaras of Vedic chanting
Notation[edit]

A dot above a letter indicates that the note is sung one octave higher, and a dot below indicates one octave lower. Or, if a note w
name - Sa, for example - is an octave higher than the note represented by S, an apostrophe is placed to the right: S'. If it is an o
apostrophe is placed to the left: 'S. Apostrophes can be added as necessary to indicate the octave: for example, ``g would be th
in the octave two octaves below that which begins on the note S (that is, two octaves below g).

The basic mode of reference is that which is equivalent to the Western Ionian mode or major scale (called Bilawalthaat in Hind
music,Dheerasankarabharanam in Carnatic). All relationships between pitches follow from this. In any seven-tone mode (startin

twelve notes as in the Western chromatic scale. If a swara is not natural (shuddha), a line below a letter indicates that it is flat (
acute accent above indicates that it is sharp (tivra). Sa and Pa are immovable (once Sa is selected), forming a just perfect fifth.

In some notation systems, the distinction is made with capital and lowercase letters. When abbreviating these tones, the form o

Special forms of swaras[edit]

In the context of Indian classical music some specific forms of swara-s fulfill the technique of playing a note.
Such ornamentations (Sanskrit: Alankar) in Indian classical music is important for the proper rendition and essential to create th
a raga. Some notes are linked with their preceding or succeeding notes; these linked notes are called gracenotes or kan-swar
deal with so called touchnotes. Kan-swars can be executed vocally and on instruments in three ways:

1. using a swift short glide (meend or ghaseet), 2. as a Sparsh (technique of playing a note on a plucked stringed instrument, th
notes is ascending) and 3. as a Krintan (the opposite of a Sparsh, movement of notes is descending).

Andolitswars are raga-specific notes that are oscillated within the Andolan alankar. The specification of the Andolanalankar is
(swing) from a fixed note touching the periphery of an adjacent note. By this oscillation the shrutis (microtones) are touched wh
between.
