In Hinduism
Gitashastra (science of music)
Mallārikā (मल्लारिका) refers to candramāṃśa-rāgas (to be sung during the day/morning), according to Kohala (mentioned in the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa, Vol. I, p.166,168).—Kohala has classified rāgas as sūryāṃśa (rāgas to be sung in the day time) and candramāṃśa (rāgas to be sung at night). The candramāṃśa-rāgas [e.g., mallārikā-rāga] are born of the rays of the moon and should not be sung in the morning. Singing these rāgas in the evening brings about great prosperity.
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, gītaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
