The origin of Carnatic music, or the South Indian classical music can be traced back to the age of vedas. Carnatic music is based on a 22 scale note (swaras) on contrary to the earlier 12 note scale that is used in the western classical music.

The main emphasis in Carnatic music is on vocal music; most compositions are written to be sung, and even when played on instruments, they are meant to be performed in a singing style. Carnatic music rests on two main elements: raga, the modes or melodic formulae, and tala, the rhythmic cycles.

Like all art forms in Indian culture, Carnatic music is believed to have a divine origin. It originated from the Devas and Devatas (Hindu Gods and Goddesses),and is venerated as symbolic of nada brahman.
