Little Danny:

@linda: I'm sure someone with some actual musical theory can explain it better, but from my understanding, each raga provides a structure that allows musicians to improvise within. Also, there are scales and intervals that characterize each raga. It's a lifelong study for musicians. Huge question you asked!
