DIY Raga Labs Bangalore was launched by Shanthala Rao, a tech executive, and Omkarnath Havaldar, a leading performer and teacher of Hindustani classical music. They brought together the participants and audio-video production team with remote support from the Boston-based IndianRaga team.

Versatile and aesthetically pleasing, Raag Yaman is boundless in creative pursuit. The attempt in this piece has been to creatively showcase, in a short time-span, the various components of a Hindustani music presentation. It starts off with a soothing alaap that draws one into the depth of the raag while touching upon all the notes that define it. The actual bandish is then presented - a basic version first, followed by experimentation with several variations in the mukhda and antara. Aakar and swar taans are generously interspersed as ornamental interludes. The piece ends with each singer signing off in their own unique way and harmoniously concluding on the homecoming note of ‘Sa’ !
