• Swaras: Use the Swara Search tool above to find Megalist ragas by present/absent swaras – and to peruse even more swara sets, try ‘Ctrl-F’ searching swaras or other terms within the Masterlist (swara-set summaries for 700+ more ragas not yet added to the Megalist) – and similarly within the Raga Glossary.
