Explanation

Deogiri (modern Daulatabad) played an important role in early Carnatic music, where Sharngadeva wrote the 13th - century treatise Sangeeta Ratnakara under the Yadava court. It served as a cultural bridge before the divergence of Hindustani and Carnatic traditions, unlike centers such as Hampi, Kanchipuram, and Bidar.
