About "Raga Charukeshi":
Although a Carnatic raga, it is a common belief that raga Charukeshi is a new entrant to Hindustani Classical Music. It exists in the Hindustani style as Raga Chandramauli, but was probably popularised by the Carnatic style & therefore has become popular as Charukeshi

It is a sampurna raga with Re, Ga as sharp (teevra) notes & Ma, Dha, Ni as Flat (komal) notes- Due to the chalan of the raga, there are nuances of the Bhairav Ang, so many artists perform this raga in the morning.

But traditionally, Charukeshi or Chandramauli has the Kaushik Ang which is dominant thus:
Re Ga Ma Pa, Ga Ma Dha Ni Sa. Sa Ni Dha Ma, Ma Ga Pa, Ma Pa Ga Ma Re Sa

This raga has Ma & Ni as its Vadi & Samvadi swaras. Raga Chandramauli or Charukeshi as it is known today is a late night melody.

Charukeshi is one of my favorite ragas...and this Charukeshi is one of the best I have heard. Truly sensitive alaap.

I wonder why all the video editing? Crossfades at weird time like elements were deleted? Didn't want to show Sugato-ji retuning the instrument or what?

@operadood

simply he had very often to tune his Mandoline; there was accutally nothing taken out!

Sunderaner= Sundara in Sanskrit, was so viel wie wunderschön heißt. Krishna wird auch Shyma Sundara genannt.

@TarponBonefish

This mandolin has eight strings in sets of four unisons like a typical mandolin, except it is tuned lower in pitch. Also the body is bigger and deeper. Perhaps it is a Mandola, which is bigger and lower in pitch than a mandolin. The members of the mandolin family corresponds to the violin family. The mandolin, mandola, and mandocello correspond to the violin, viola, and cello respectively.

Some mandolins have arched tops, but this one would be considered a flat top mandolin.
