2. Swarshala

Category: Practice and Compose

Trial Version: Available, one month evaluation, limited functionality

Description: 

One of the best softwares available.

Has three modes -Learn, Practice and Compose. Earlier Version, had only compose mode.

Though I was unable to see the 'Learn' part in it, I was told that it is too good.

'Compose' Mode is the best mode, and the swaras on various instruments are really well played.

In 'Practice' mode, it also has marmonium option

A really good encyclopedia. Gives information and also a good number of audio-visuals. Since Demo Version has limited number of I am not sure whether it covers all ragas.

Made by an Bangaladesh based monestry. Has various ragas played on pianos various modes. Is a good amusement tool, but hardly useful for Riyaz/learning. One can learn the raga notations etc only.
