Sur Niragas Ho | Raga Nand | Sitar × Guitar | Chromatic Swaras | AI-Assisted

A sitar and guitar conversation in Raga Nand — Shankar Mahadevan and Anandi Joshi's "Sur Niragas Ho" from Katyar Kaljat Ghusali (2015), reimagined as Carnatic-fusion instrumental. Nand is a Hindustani evening raga of the Kalyan thaat — serene, warm, quietly romantic, and rare enough that hearing it still feels like a small gift. The prayer at the center of this song does not ask for wealth or safety. It asks that the notes themselves stay innocent — sur niragas ho — that whatever feeling passes through the music arrives as clean as an infant's smile. Mangesh Kangane frames it as flowers gathered in cupped palms and emptied, every day, at the feet of the Lord. Around it stands Samarth Ramdas's old shloka: wherever this mind wanders, let it find only your form; wherever I lay my head, let the Guru's feet be there. And then Ganesha by his names — Sukhakarta who makes happiness, Dukhaharta who takes sorrow away, Chhandapati the lord of rhythm, Gandhapati the lord of fragrance. Original composition by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy. Lyrics (in vocal version) by Mangesh Kangane. From the Katyar Kaljat Ghusali soundtrack (Zee Music Company, 2015). This is an instrumental reimagining.
