- You can search using keywords containing Ragas or Musician's name
- or anything that is present as a word in the database.
-
- Try Ali or Khan or Ravi or Shankar or Krishnan as a
- first search and see what format the database is in. Perhaps you

-
- At present, this database contains mainly CDs of Hindustani
- Musicians. But please be patient. This database is still in

- This database eventually would be a collection of all Hindustani
