Raga Tarangini, Tarangini, is a raga in the Carnatic tradition.

The most well-known musical composition of Narayana Teertha, the 17th century Carnatic music composer, is a Sanskrit opera called the Sri Krishna Leela Tarangini. [1][2] It is believed Lord Krishna danced[3] to the Tharangams. It is an opera suitable for dramatic dance and it has been adapted by Kuchipudi dancers over the last two centuries.
