About This Archive
Indian Classical Music — Archive is a personal archival and educational resource dedicated to the preservation, documentation, study and appreciation of Hindustani classical music.
The archive brings together recordings from a personal collection and organises them by raga, artist, instrument, tradition, form and other relevant musical characteristics, wherever such information can be reliably established.
The purpose of this website is educational, cultural and archival. It is intended to provide a convenient catalogue and listening resource for students, researchers, musicians and listeners interested in Indian classical music.

Accuracy of Information
Every effort is made to provide accurate information about the raga, artist, instrument, tradition, recording and source material associated with each entry.
However, information about Indian classical music can vary between traditions, schools, performers and reference sources. Where different classifications exist, the archive may identify the principal or commonly accepted classification rather than attempting to resolve every theoretical variation.
If you identify an incorrect attribution, raga identification, artist detail or other factual error, please contact us so that the information can be reviewed and corrected where appropriate.

The archive is not intended to replace commercially released recordings, albums, publications or other works made available by their respective rights holders.
