In [[Carnatic music]], the '''Akshipthika''' is the first part or the introductory part of the [[alapana]]. It gives an idea about the [[raga]] ([[musical mode]]) in which the song is going to be sung. It is followed by the [[ragavardhini]].
Akshipthika is the introduction to the raagam. It usually starts on a low note in the scale but then again the artist is permitted to start wherever they want on the scale and at whatever tempo they want. We must remember that the idea raagam alapana is to allow the musician to creatively express themselves and the raagam without sticking to a particular scaffold as they must in a song. Thus, there is no particular order or manner in which it must be performed.
