Raag Saraswati

Raag Saraswati is a beautiful melody that comes to Hindustani music from Carnatak Music. The “Jati” is Audav –Shadav i.e. Five Swaras in the aroha (ascent) and six Swaras in the avaroh (decent).
Gandhar and Nishad are not taken in Aroh and Gandhar is not taken in Avroh .The dialogue between Pancham and Rishab is very pleasing. They are Vadi and Sanvadi swars respectively.
It is a sweet coincidence that an artist specially blessed by Saraswasti Maa is singing Raag Saraswati.
Deeply emotive artistic communication and profundity are signatures of
Sanhita Nandi's Raga development .As the aesthetic beauty of colourful flowers of notes in the garden of this raga are carefully caressed; a holistic feeling of the Raaga Bhava emerges. One tends to get lost in the ocean of divine musical experience .True to the Kairana legacy; the musical sonority is loved and protected beyond life. Raaga Saraswati becomes a medium to connect with Maa Saraswati.
