In Indian classical music, Varnas are the styles of movement or usage of swaras.
Alankar means ornamentation or pattern practice in music.
It involves systematic exercises using swaras in different combinations.
Alankars are based on Varna techniques like Arohi, Avarohi, Sthayi, and Sanchari.
These help students master swara transitions, phrasing, and speed control.
Alankar practice builds a strong base for improvisation and raga development.
