Big Ears adds 8 hours of Indian classical music programming to the Festival in 2026. As I was able to catch only one Indian classical music concert in 2026, this is a banquet for a starving man: Ragamala, which translates to “garland of ragas,” comes to Big Ears Festival as an immersive eight-hour presentation of South Asian classical music, offering a rare opportunity to experience Indian classical ragas as they are traditionally intended—performed at specific times of day rather than within standard concert formats.   Conceived as a “festival within a festival,” Ragamala draws from both of India’s great classical traditions: Hindustani music of the North and Carnatic music of the South, each with its own distinctive styles, forms, and instrumentation. The extended format allows artists to explore rarely performed ragas and subtle improvisations seldom heard in conventional evening concerts.   Featuring revered masters alongside exceptional younger artists, Ragamala invites listeners—devoted and new alike—into a deep, time-based immersion in one of the world’s oldest living musical traditions, presented with patience, care, and reverence.   RAGAMALA AT BIG EARS Kunal Gunjal & Praveen Narayan HINDUSTANI MORNING RAGA SET Saraswathi Ranganathan, Swaminathan Selvaganesh, and Praveen Narayan CARNATIC RAGAS Selvaganesh Vinayakram CARNATIC RHYTHMS ENSEMBLE & SOLOS W/ SWAMINATHAN SELVAGANESH AND PRAVEEN NARAYAN Purbayan Chatterjee & Nitin Mitta HINDUSTANI RAGAS L.
