What are the two major systems of Indian music?

Indian music is divided into two systems: North Indian music and South Indian music.

North India also creates different styles of Hindu music in different regions or ethnic groups and families. In North India, it is called Gharana, which means family music. Different families have their own traditions and musical theories, and their own methods of cultivation and inheritance. This kind of national music has created different styles of music, which has been passed down to this day and is enduring for a long time.

South Indian music, also known as Kanatik music, also known as temple or religious music, is almost related to Hinduism, whether it is instrumental music, vocal music or religious celebration dance. These types of music have different rhythms, from simple to diverse.

Origin:

The origin of Indian music is hidden in the beautiful myth of music creators. Indians believe that Indian music was created by Shiva. The greatest figure among the ancient Indian music authorities, even in India today, is still respected and worshipped by musicians, and should be Sharan Cativa, a saint at the beginning of13rd century.

Later, because Islam invaded the north, the differences in musical styles between the north and the south were affected one by one. Akbar, the king who believed in Islam in the north, was a monarch who loved music very much. Therefore, during the reign, its court musicians initiated the music of North India, and the ragtime of Indian music was greatly influenced and changed.
