  • that bitch is high

  • There are so many ragas that it is impossible to tell you when to play each. Look up the raga online, as oshidonimlop suggested.

  • There is a database called raagabase that I use sometimes that says the times of when some are supposed to be played. It does come in handy.

  • i hear that different ragga are played at different times of the day.

    can anyone please tell me which ragga are played when?

  • Very informative ... thank you! :>)

  • Thanks again!
