Raag Rageshree, also called Rageshwari, which is popularly considered as the Queen of all Raags and hence the name Rageshwari (Raag+Iswari) and decorously said so since it is a very euphonic and mellifluous raag of Hindustani classical music, from the Khamaj Thaat. In music literature, Raag Rageshree is said to have both Shuddha and Komal Nishads. It has evolved and become popular in the past century.
Raag Rageshree is very similar in its structure to Raag Bageshree. However, Rageshree stands apart through the use of the shuddha Ga, versus Bageshree's Komal Ga.
Raag Rageshree is considered as a raag of night and, the best time to perform is advised during the second half (Dwitiya prahara) of the night.
In this video, Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan plays Raageshree, Mishra Kaafi and a bandish in Kedar, before concluding the concert with Raag Bhairavi.
