Swarajati [Carnatic classical] - Introduction


Swarajati is a form in Carnatic music, which is helpful in appreciating the concepts of the structure of Kritis and Keertanas and is usually taught before the varnas. Swarajati has pallavi, sometimes an anupallavi, and at least one charana. Swarajatis have both sahitya and the swaras, in contrast to Jatiswaras that have no sahitya or the song part.
