About this document
Understanding Shruti and Swar Distribution by Hari Narayanan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the historical development of shruti and swar distribution in Indian classical music. It divides history into three periods: ancient, middle, and modern ages. In the ancient age, scholars like Bharat and Sharangdev considered 22 shrutis in an octave and distributed swaras unevenly among them. In the middle age, new discoveries were made regarding veena swaras. In the modern age, Bhatkhande changed the placement of swaras on the first shruti while keeping the same shruti-swar ratio.
