Raga Charukesi | Malladi Brothers |

Charukesi raga is a serene and melodious scale in Indian classical music, known for its emotive and soothing qualities.
Here are some features of the Carnatic raga Charukesi:

1. **Arohana and Avarohana**: Charukesi ascends as S R2 M1 P N3 S and descends as S N3 P M1 R2 S. It notably avoids the usage of the Gandhara note (G2) in its ascent.

2. **Characteristic Swaras**: The usage of the Sadja (Sa), Chatushruti Rishabha (R2), Sadharana Gandhara (G3), Shuddha Madhyama (M1), Panchama (P), and Kakali Nishada (N3) imparts its distinct melodic identity.

3. **Mood and Expression**: Charukesi is renowned for evoking a tranquil, devotional, and introspective mood. Its unique combination of notes allows artists to explore the raga's emotional depth, portraying a sense of yearning and contemplation.

4. **Time of Rendering**: Charukesi is generally performed during the late evening, creating an ambiance conducive to its contemplative and serene nature.
