Raga Pravaham : Index to Carnatic Ragas

From the foreword: "The book Raga Pravaham by Dr. Dhandapani and D. Pattammal contains the kramas of about 5000 ragas. They have consulted about 45 books in various languages (Tamil, Telugu, Kanarese, Hindi and English) and also contacted contemporary composers. The list of ragas is given both alphabetically and Mela Kartha-wise. The different kramas for the same raga and ragas with different names are also listed.

Equivalents of ragas of the 32 panns of Tevaram are also given on the basis of the conclusions arrived at the deliberations of the Tamil Isai Sangam. This book will be of great help to musicians, musicologists, teachers and music lovers."
