Indian Classical Music

I love Indian classical music. Here I will list some of my favorite renditions, mostly from Hindustani tradition (I listen to Carnatic tradition, but my experience is limited.) Note that while YouTube links often break, if you search with the name of the raga and the artist, it's likely that you will find another copy of it, uploaded by someone else. Happy listening!
