A ragam or raag is a melodic framework for improvisation akin to a melodic mode, in Indian classical music. Today we present Raag Bihag, a Purva Raag sung and played at night. Raagas are intended to appeal to the varied emotions of a listener through tones. Raag Bihaag is a Srirngar Ras melodic scale, making the mood of the raga celebratory as well as romantic. We present to you a mashup of the different manifestations of this Raga in Carnatic, Hindustani and Indian film music.

Love is timeless - a concept that we hope to convey through our juxtaposition of these two songs. O Saathi Re highlights the immense sense of longing felt by two lovers who hope that their days together never end, whereas In A Week conveys the sentiment of peace felt by two lovers who accompany each other to the very end. Together, these songs urge us to cherish the moments we have with our loved ones and remind us that even with time's passing, love never dies.
