Samenvatting
Ragas and raginis hold deep social and historical value in Indian culture, serving as a spiritual practice in Hinduism, a framework for musical technical specialization, and a tool for devotional and magical practice. Historically, they evolved by assimilating diverse musical influences and were often associated with specific times of day, moods, and deities, which was reflected in their depiction in classical Indian painting and their role in reinforcing religious and cultural identity. The raga-ragini system also served as a method of categorizing and teaching music, providing a structure to a rich and evolving tradition
