Hindu music

[1] The most common Hindu bhajan in North India is "Om Jai Jagdish Hare."

The names of Gods are religiously chanted, often including Vishnu and his incarnations, Shiva and the Goddess (Parvati, Shakti, Vaishnodevi).

The Sikh Scripture contains 31 ragas and 17 talas which form the basis for kirtan music compositions.

For example, in the Rig Veda Gargi, the wife of Yajnavalkya, through her excellence in veena playing, an incident that caused Sage Yagnavalkya to write the famous verse: ("Yagnavalkya Siksha") There have also been several music-saints (e.g. Sant Tyagaraja) and poet-saints (e.g. Sant Ravidas).

The origins of Indian classical music can be found from the oldest of scriptures, part of the Hindu tradition, the Vedas.
