Type of musical composition
Rhythmic cycle (tala)
Melodic scale (raga)
Devotional poem
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: d) Devotional poem.
A kriti is a devotional poem in praise of a Hindu deity, set to music in the Carnatic music tradition. It is typically composed in a specific raga (melodic scale) and tala (rhythmic cycle), and is sung by a soloist or a group of singers, accompanied by an orchestra of instruments.
A kriti is a complex and sophisticated form of musical composition, and requires a high level of skill and artistry to perform. It is an important part of the Carnatic music tradition, and is enjoyed by both performers and listeners alike.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- a) Type of musical composition. A kriti is not a type of musical composition. It is a devotional poem set to music.
- b) Rhythmic cycle (tala). A tala is a rhythmic cycle that is used in Carnatic music. It is not a kriti.
- c) Melodic scale (raga). A raga is a melodic scale that is used in Carnatic music. It is not a kriti.
