Shruti

January 28, 2015

The sound(dhwani)which can be heard by us is known as shruti.But its not necessary that all sound heard are musical.So in music only the shruti which is musical is used.In a Saptak (ie Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dh Ni)their can be only 22 Shrutis.From 22 shrutis 12 shrutis are selected for 7 Shudh Sur and 5 Vikreet Sur.
