About this session
- Invites inner peace
- Quiets a busy mind
- Eases the evening
- Lifts the mood
Raag Bageshri is an eight-minute piece of music with no voice and no instructions. Tahir Qawwal plays a raga traditionally linked with the late hours, and it unfolds slowly, one phrase giving way to the next. You don't have to do anything except listen and let it fill the space.
It suits the moments when the day is winding down: after work, while you read, or in the quiet before bed. Play it when you want calm company rather than guidance, or whenever the room needs a softer, slower atmosphere.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is a raga?
A raga is a melodic form in Indian classical music, built around a particular set of notes and a particular mood. Each one is traditionally associated with a time of day or season. Raag Bageshri is known as a night raga, which is why it suits the evening.
Why is Raag Bageshri called a night raga?
Bageshri belongs to the late hours in the tradition of Indian music, and it is usually played in the evening or at night. Here Tahir Qawwal lets it unfold slowly, so the pace itself matches the day winding down.
Is there any guidance or speaking in this track?
No. There is no voice and no instruction, only music. You can close your eyes and listen closely, or let it play quietly while you do something else.
How can I use it as part of an evening routine?
Play it when you finish work, while you read, or as you get ready for bed. Used at the same point each evening, it can become a small signal that the day is over. At eight minutes, it fits easily into a short pause.
