Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Sangeet Parijat is an important ancient text on Indian classical music written by Ahobal.
It discusses various aspects of music theory including swaras, ragas, and talas.
In Sangeet Parijat, 29 swaras are mentioned in total.
These include the basic 7 swaras (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni) and their variants used in different ragas.
This classification helps explain the microtones and finer divisions in Indian music.
Knowing these swaras is essential for understanding traditional raga structure.
