A '''''[[raga]]''''' or '''''raag''''' is a complex structure of musical melody used in [[Indian classical music]]. It is a set of rules of how to build a [[melody]] which can ignite a certain mood in the reciter and listeners. The [[Sikhism|Sikh]] holy scripture, [[Guru Granth Sahib Ji]], is composed in and divided into a total of 60 ''ragas''. This is a combination of 39 single raags and 21 mixed (or "mishrit") raags (a raag composed by combining two or three raags together). Each ''raga'' is a chapter or section in the Guru Granth Sahib starting with ''[[Raga Asaa|Asaa raag]]'', and all the hymns produced in ''Asaa raag'' are found in this section ordered chronologically by the Guru or other Bhagat that have written hymns in that ''raga''. All raags in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji are named as "Raag".
 
''Raags'' are used in Sikh music simply to create a mood, and are not restricted to particular times. A mood can be created by the music of the ''raag'' regardless of the time of day.

A raga or raag is a complex structure of musical melody used in Indian classical music. It is a set of rules of how to build a melody which can ignite a certain mood in the reciter and listeners. The Sikh holy scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is composed in and divided into a total of 60 ragas. This is a combination of 39 single raags and 21 mixed (or "mishrit") raags (a raag composed by combining two or three raags together). Each raga is a chapter or section in the Guru Granth Sahib starting with Asaa raag, and all the hymns produced in Asaa raag are found in this section ordered chronologically by the Guru or other Bhagat that have written hymns in that raga. All raags in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji are named as "Raag". Raags are used in Sikh music simply to create a mood, and are not restricted to particular times. A mood can be created by the music of the raag regardless of the time of day. Following is the list of all sixty Raags (including 39 single raags and 21"mishrit" raags) under which Gurbani is written, in order of appearance with page numbers.

The name of raags ending with the word Dakhani are not mishrit raags because Dakhani is not a raag; it simply means 'in south Indian style'.

Raags are used in Sikh music simply to create a mood, and are not restricted to particular times. A mood can be created by the music of the raag regardless of the time of day. There are a total of 60 raags or melodies within the Guru Granth Sahib. Each melody sets a particular mood for the hymn, adding a deeper dimension to it. The Guru Granth Sahib is thought by many to have just 31 raags or melodies which is correct of single raags. However, combined with mishrit raags, that total is 60.
