The Songs section pairs swara notation with a short lyric fragment per line, time-coded to a reference recording embedded directly from YouTube. It's built as a practice tool for learning a song's melody on sitar — not as a lyrics archive or a way to access the recording outside of YouTube's own player.

Reference recordings are embedded via YouTube's own player and are never downloaded, re-hosted, or modified — playback happens entirely inside YouTube's embed, under YouTube's own license with the rights holder. Lyric text shown alongside the notation is intentionally kept to a short identifying fragment per line, not the full lyric. Composer and lyricist credit is shown on every song page.

If you hold the rights to a song featured here and want it removed, email contact@sitarpedia.com with the song title and we'll take it down.
