Bageshri (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.
Probably this is the raagam that i came to know at my younger days along with raagam kanada, When i came across to listening Katcheries in temples by accident as a boy of 12 to 15 years of age. Those days when i go to my native place for vacation my grand mother forcebly took me to temple for listening katcheries during festivals. Thus happened my interaction with carnatic music.I HAPPENED TO LIKE THUKKADAS WHICH WAS SUNG AT THE FAG END OF THE CONCERT. One of the songs i repeatedly heard during that period was Alai payuthe kanna. When i enquired about the raaga i came to know that it was based on raaga kanada through my uncle. . When i returned to city i would forget every thing and went back to my hindi songs and A.M.Raja songs. At the time Janak Janak Payall Baje was released in chennai. The songs from that film was repeatedly played in Radio Ceylon. One of the song nain se nain naahi milano was my fav no.My faher used to tell me that it was based on raaga Bageshri.( Though chandrakanta.com and asaveri.com do not list that song under the raag Bageshri. I always relay on those websites. I don't know why?). Thus my association with those raagas started.I gave link to Bombay Jayasree's beautiful rendition of Arunachala Kavirayer Kanden kanden seethaiyai and my favourite song from film Janak Janak Payal Baje. Try listen to these songs during late night. That was really heaven. When come to melody Bombay Jayasree is really the melody queen.
