Bhoopeshwari
Raga Bhoopeshwari is a Hindustani classical raga. Origin The Bhoopeshwari raga is not a traditional raga. It is generally accepted that it was created between the 1990s and 2000s. It may have been created by Ustad Alladiya Khan of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana, although it emerged only after his death. It is also credited to Pt. Mani Prasad of the Kirana Gharana. An audav raga allows significant ambiguity. Since the remaining notes/ are unknown, it is quite difficult to determine its parent raga or scale. This raga does not fit into any of Bhatkhande's '' thaats''. It may be linked to the Melakarta Chakravam, Melakart Mararanjani, Melakarta Charukesi and Melakarta Sarasangi.

Hariprasad Chaurasia, the legendary flutist, prefers the name Raga Bhoopkali, while most of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana musicians use Raga Prateeksha. Other variations such as Bhoopeshri, B ...
