about

Bhageshwaari (Hindi: बागेश्री) is a Hindustani classical raga. It is a popular raga of the late night, which is meant to depict the emotion of a woman waiting for reunion with her lover.
It is said to have been first sung by Mian Tansen, the celebrated court singer of the Emperor Akbar in the sixteenth century and consists of an asymmetric scale that does not contain the 5th or panchamam in the ascent. It is called a shadava-sampurna rāgam in Carnatic music classification (as it has 6 notes in ascending and 7 notes in descending scale).
In the twentieth century, Bageshri raga found widespread popularity in Carnatic Music
