Music has been recognized globally for its profound therapeutic effects on psychological well-being, yet the application of Indian music within the field of psychology remains relatively unexplored. This paper explores the therapeutic potential of Indian music, integrating traditional ragas, rhythms, and instruments within contemporary psychological frameworks. Drawing on theoretical foundations from both Eastern and Western psychology, it examines how Indian music, with its intricate melodies and rhythmic patterns, can induce emotional regulation, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive functions. Case studies and empirical research highlight the therapeutic benefits of Indian music in clinical settings, including its role in managing anxiety, depression, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Additionally, cultural considerations and challenges in integrating Indian music therapy into mainstream psychological practice are discussed. By synthesizing traditional wisdom with modern psychological principles, this paper advocates for the inclusion of Indian music therapy as a valuable component of comprehensive mental health care paradigms, encouraging further exploration and research in this emerging field.
