Carnatic music in Irta is almost the same as in our timeline, with some differences:

*Songs with Buddhist lyrics?

*Unlike in our timeline, the esraj (held vertically and called the ''ravaka'') is used instead of the violin. It is borrowed from North Indian music.

*Unlike in our timeline, the esraj (held vertically and called the ''ravaka'', etymologically related to ''rabab'' with the same random sound change that produced European ''rebec'') is used instead of the violin. It is borrowed from North Indian music.

*There are some ragas not found in our timeline's Carnatic music like ''Sabhā'' (an adaptation of maqam Saba), ''Śikhā'' (an adaptation of Sikah) and ''Desikasrī'' (adapted from the Hindustani raga Shree).

*Certain ragas like ''Kharaharapriyā'' are not as common as in our timeline but others like ''Ghaṇṭa'', ''Kalgaḍa'' and ''Dēvāmṛtavarṣiṇi'' are more common

Line 15:

*''Vasanta'' and ''Lalita'' are sung with the flat 3rd

* Bb A Bb C (Bb)Ab, G is a phrase used in ''Dhanyāsi'' in Irta but not in our timeline

* ''Mohanam'' is sung in a more folksy style (like our timeline's ''Pahadi'') and has more chromatic variations, A G# A E D# E D C# D is a common phrase; conversely ''Kapi'' and ''Shivaranjani'' are considered heavy ragas and are sung in a classical style
