It has defined Indian Classical Music and shown the world the rich culture of music in India. Many movie songs have been made from ragas. Ragas had the power which did magical things. The power of music can be known by the stories of some ‘ragas’ which sung properly can do some miraculous things which can be hard for a human mind to take..
The popular one is the Rag Megh Malhar which Tansen had sung to bring rain. Just imagine singing a song to bring rain. Well that is the power of Malhar. Tansen also used to sing Raga Deepak to light the lamp. Malkaunsh raga is one of the oldest and most melodious raga in the Indian culture. Malkauns raga is defined as a male person having 7 wifes and a bottle of wine in the hand. It is a slow raga which is sung at night. When some disciples of a saint sang Na Jeevathara in Raga Bilahari, it resurrected a person from death. That is just incredible.. but that is the power these ragas possess and that shows what music is capable of.
