There are many more sargams to be practiced but we'll come back to it later.
In a scale , all 8 notes are always included and the eighth note is always added in the scale or sargam . This set of 8 notes in ascending and descending order is called thaat and thaat produces raagas. It can also be said as the system of classification of raagas in different groups(thaats).
Now, in a raaga , there might not be fixed number of notes in ascending and descending order so it's not easy to play or sing songs in first instance. There are certain rules for representation of thaat :-
1. Thaat must have seven notes.
2. Thaat has only one arohi and avrohi.
3. Thaat is not supposed to be sung and is for only playing music songs but the ragas originating from them is sung.
4. Thaat is named after the popular raga of that thaat. For eg ; bhairavi is a popular raga and the thaat of raga bhairavi is named after it .
