What it is
An index of over a thousand Carnatic ragas, linking to per-letter pages that give each raga's parent, ascent, descent and a list of songs with their talas and composers.
Why it is useful here
Source of the song lists (titles, talas, composers) shown on raga pages; languages come from each song's own page label. No lyrics are used.

Verification
Status verified, checked on by http-fetch. Downloaded the index page and the 22 per-letter raga pages; all 72 melakarta entries were found and their ascents match the generated scales. Song lists are community-contributed, so a missing song does not mean the raga has no such composition.
