Ragas

Royal evening raga. 'Shree' literally means 'beauty' or 'wealth' — this is the sunset raga. Rich, ornate, the full splendor of Lakshmi and Narayana. Every phrase drips with majesty.

Evening magic. The tivra Ma gives it that upward pull — everything ascends. Sandhya aarti, diyas being lit, the shift from day to night. This is the raga most kirtan singers learn first because it's so naturally devotional.

One of the most versatile and beloved Carnatic ragas. Equivalent to the Hindustani Kafi thaat and the Western Dorian mode. Carries deep devotional weight — Tyagaraja composed extensively in this raga.
