In Carnatic music, angas are structural or embellishing components that enhance a Kriti (musical composition). Four significant embellishing angas are:
Swarasahitya: A fusion of swaras (musical notes) and sahitya (lyrics).
Chittaswara: Melodic embellishments consisting of sequences of swaras without lyrics.
Swarakshara: A technique where the swara syllable corresponds to the initial letter of a lyrical word.
Sollukattuswara: Rhythmic syllables or mnemonic patterns that augment the rhythmic quality.
These embellishing angas contribute depth and aesthetic appeal to a Kriti.
