About

Note on Transliteration

This site was created by Jonathan Voyer as part of a postdoctoral research-creation project carried out with the collaboration of Pandit Satish Vyas and Dr. Maneesha Kulkarni, professor at the music department of Mumbai University. This project was funded by Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQSC).

We opted for transliteration rather than transcription. We use the system of the "International Alphabet for Transliteration of Sanskrit" (IAST).Thus, the term " बंदिश " is transliterated into "bandiśa" and not transcribed into "bandish". All the transliterated terms are neutral and written in italics, with the exception of names (including the name of ragas, e.g. Ahīra Bhairava). The vowel "a" attached to the final consonants is preserved for uniformity. The terms already translated in English are written as such, we will read "raga" and not "rāga".
