<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
'''Indian music''' is one of the major microtonal traditions of the world (along with the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Middle Eastern]] family of traditions). It has two main subcategories: South Indian music known as Carnatic and North Indian music known as Hindustani.

The unit of measurement in the Indian system is the **shruti** (sometimes spelled šruti, sruti or shruthi), which corresponds roughly to a quarter-tone. There are 22 shrutis per octave, 13 per fifth and 9 per fourth. A size of 4 shruti for the major whole tone follows from that. The step sizes of the heptatonic scales ([[shadja grama]], [[madhyama grama]]) are given as sequences of 4, 3, and 2 shruti.

The system has been approximated by [[22edo]], though the traditional tuning system is unequal, and split-shruti systems may approximated by the 22&amp;34d (or 12&amp;22 or even 10&amp;12 generalized [[Pajara]] if accuracy is no object) temperament.
