सप्तस्वर — The Seven Swaras

The first and foundational swara — tonic of Indian music.

Voice of the bull, sacred to Brahma.

Melodious voice of the goat, beloved of Saraswati.

The middle swara — steady and sustaining like Vishnu.

Sweet as the cuckoo, divine as Narada.

The horse-like gallop of sound, blessed by Ganesha.

Majestic as the elephant, luminous as the Sun.
