Katapayadi is heavily employed in the nomenclature of melakarta ragas in carnatic (south Indian classical) music. One of the most fascinating mnemonic schemes ever.
- JasonFruit 4y agoThat's really interesting, because the first thing that came to mind was the rhythmic syllables used in carnatic music, and borrowed from there for western use in takadimi. I don't know if mnemonic devices like this are more common in Indian culture or not.
