Abstract : Spiritual transcendence is a characteristic factor that defines ideal music according to the ancient theories of Indian classical music. Culturally, this spiritual component of classical music, especially Karnatic music, has often been translated into a religious or devotional component contributing to the shaping of a quasi-religious identity - a development that ca be attributed to the evolution of Karnatik music as a temple art form and its tryst with the Bhakti movement.
