One thread per raga please - kindly search before opening another thread.

Post by RasikasModerator2 »

Rasikas are advised for our collective convenience to check if a thread already exists in the name of one raga (including potential alternate spellings) before opening another as it results in parallel threads down the road and a lot of merging work. Also If a thread has developed beyond a point, merging will break up and muddle the posts as they are usually sorted by date.

A member has written to us asking for the titles to be renamed as per ITRANS or some standard spellings for raga names. We shall see how far that is possible, given the difficulty of transliteration to English. We have seen multiple threads for the same raga like "Priyadarshini" and "Priya Darshini" or "Asaveri" and "asaaveri". These make it difficult to search later on.

So please search thoroughly before opening new threads. Please ensure one thread per raga if you are going to discuss a raga in depth. Rasikas are also requested to inform posters (and moderators) if similar threads already exist so that we can find them and merge them before the discussions go too far on a separate track.
