Description: Indian classical music is characterized by movement between and around notes. In particular, the Camatic music system uses a variety of such movements with the collective name 'gamakam', each gamakarn having its own name. The term 'gamakam' is defined in the Sungeeto Ratnakara as a pleasant shaking of a note (Sangeeta Ratnakara 3,87). In present-day Carnatic music, ragams can be distinguished by gamakams even when the basic notes are the same. In his work Sangeeta Sampradaya Pradarshini (c. 1900), Subbarama Deekshitarhas described the different garnakams in detail (some on the basis of techniques used in Veena-playing),assigned symbols to them, and used the symbols in his notations for the lyrics given in the book.
