Dataset

DOI

The Carnatic Varnam Dataset is a collection of 28 solo vocal recordings of varnams in seven rāgas, performed by five trained singers. Each recording includes annotations of tāla cycles and machine-readable notations aligned with time. The dataset is designed to facilitate research in melodic analysis, intonation characterization, motif discovery, and audio-score alignment in Carnatic music.
