Information Booster:
· Dipta: Meaning "brilliant" or "luminous," this is one of the five canonical Shruti Jaties (along with Ayata, Karuna, Mridu, and Madhya).
· Alapti: Refers to systemic improvised melodic elaboration ( Raga Alapana), not a Shruti classification.
· Tara: Refers to the higher octave ( Taar Saptak).
· Nandayanti: Refers to an ancient Vikrita Jati, not a Shruti Jati.
Additional Knowledge:
· The 22 Shrutis distributed among the 5 Jatis determine the emotional color ( Rasa) and microtonal inflection of notes across different ragas.
