 FAQ

# Which Indian classical ragas are good for meditation and relaxation?

 Updated 27 October 2026

 

Indian classical ragas whose mood, or **rasa**, is peace or devotion suit calm, meditative listening. A raga is the melodic framework a musician improvises within. Two examples are [Yaman](/en-us/raga/yaman), an early-evening raga, and Bhairavi, an early-morning raga. Both carry a mood of peace and devotion.

Start with the alap, the slow opening with no beat. KalaSudha's releases include meditative music by the Indian slide guitarist Pandit Debasis Chakroborty.
