• A. Shiva Mat
• B. Kallinath Mat
• C. Bharat Mat
• D. Krishna Mat

Hint:

If each raga has five raginis, then: \[ 6 \times 5 = 30 \] This classification is associated with Bharat Mat.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
The Rag-Ragini system is an old method of classifying ragas. In this system, a raga is imagined as a male form and raginis are imagined as female forms related to that raga. Different scholars gave different opinions or Mat regarding the number of ragas and raginis.

Step 1: Understand the question.
The question asks about the system in which each raga has five raginis. This means: \[ 1 \text{ Raga} = 5 \text{ Raginis} \]

Step 2: Understand Bharat Mat.
In Bharat Mat, the classification contains six ragas and thirty raginis. So: \[ 6 \text{ Ragas} \times 5 \text{ Raginis each} = 30 \text{ Raginis} \]

Step 3: Compare with other systems.
Some other systems contain six raginis for each raga. But Bharat Mat is associated with five raginis for each raga.

Step 4: Final conclusion.
Therefore, the correct mat is: \[ \boxed{\text{Bharat Mat}} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
