Raga Explorer is your guide to the ancient world of Indian classical music. THE TIME WHEEL At the heart of Raga Explorer is an interactive clock showing which ragas are traditionally performed at each hour of day and night. Indian classical music has always been tied to time: certain ragas belong to the stillness of pre-dawn, others to the heat of noon, the romance of dusk, or the quiet of midnight.
