a rag is a bot like a scale, it tells you what kind of mood the piece of music is and how it makes you feel.
Raga is not an influence on Indian music. Raga is an important component of the music. In a sense, the music *is* the raga.
An Indian raga, is the melody, that is played with the chords. For example: A and D.

A raga is one of the classical forms of Indian music.
There is no sense of harmony in Indian raga music - the emphasis is placed purely on the melody and therefore linear in concept.
An example of a raga in Indian classical music is Raga Bhairavi. It is a popular raga that is considered to be very soothing and often evokes feelings of devotion and peace. Raga Bhairavi is usually performed in the early morning or late evening.

The Hindi/Urdu word "rag" is derived from the Sanskrit "raga" which means "colour, or passion" (Apte 1987). It is linked to the Sanskrit word "ranj" which means "to colour" (Apte 1987). Therefore rag may be thought of as an acoustic method of colouring the mind of the listener with an emotion.It is not a tune, melody, scale, mode, or any concept for which an English word exists. It is instead a combination of different characteristics. It is these characteristics which define the rag.I got this answer from FUNDAMENTALS OF RAGA by DAVID COurtney

A raga is a melodic mode used in Indian classical music. In the Indian music tradition, ragas are associated with different times of the day or with different seasons of the year.
The opening section of a raga in Indian classical music is called the Alap. It is slow and free-form, allowing the performer to explore the mood and essence of the raga through melodic improvisation. The Alap sets the foundation for the development of the raga in subsequent sections.
