Raaga Charukeshi……
The one thing I love most about Indian classical music is that, each Raaga has a soul in it.It is not that a Raaga is only a combination of notes,but apart from it, it has a soul.The job of artist is to discover this soul,to make it apparent.Each Raaga has something to say to you-something…
