A new Kacheri paddhathi or concert format came to be adopted as the 'Golden Mean' of performances.

Other major forms associated with Carnatic music are Varnams, Padams, Javalis, Virutthams, Devaranamas and Thillanas.

Both Hindustani and Carnatic styles are enriched by a plethora of instruments classified under: Stringed Instruments (Veena, Sitar, Sarod, Gottuvadyam, Santoor,Tambura, Chitraveena etc), Bowed instruments (Violin, Sarangi) Wind instruments (Flute, Shehnai, Nadaswaram etc.) and Percussion Instruments (Mridangam, Tabla, Ghatam, Pakhavaj, Kanjira, Morsing, Dholak, Chenda, Maddalai etc).
