'''Raga Bhoopeshwari''' is a [[Hindustani Classical|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/swars are unknown, it is quite difficult to determine its parent [[raga]] or scale. This raga does not fit into any of [[Bhatkhande]]'s ''[[thaat]]s''. It may be linked to the [[Melakarta]] Chakravam, Melakart [[Mararanjani]], Melakarta [[Charukesi]] and Melakarta [[Sarasangi]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Courtney |first1=David |url=https://chandrakantha.com/raga_raag/bhupeshri/bhupeshwari.html |title=Rag Bhupeshwari (a.k.a. Bhoopeshree, Bhupashri, Bhoopeswari, Bhoopeshwari, Bupeshwari, Bhupkali, Bhoopeshri) |website=CHANDRAKANTHA.COM |accessdate=7 December 2019}}</ref>

The name 'Bhoopeshwari' took inspiration from the [[Raga Bhopali]]. However, this raga has various names across India. Pt. [[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, Bhoopshri, etc. are also present. In [[Carnatic Music]], the raga is called Raga Vaasanthi.

==Technical description==
Despite its complex origin and nomenclature, this raga is not difficult to sing. It has the same notes as [[Raga]] [[Bhopali]]/Deshkar, but instead of the Shuddha Dha, uses a Komal Dha.

* [[Arohana]] : Sa Re Ga Pa dha Sa
* Avarohan : Sa dha Pa Ga Re Sa
* Vadi is Pa and Samvadi is Sa.

==Time==
The Raga Bhoopeshwari is a morning raga. Its designated time is the second [[prahar]] of the morning, from 6-9 a.m.

==Performances==
Possibly due to its recent creation, this raga is not widely performed. However, it has appeared in film music, light classical music and [[ghazals]]. Notable performances of Raga Bhoopeshwari include:
* Raga Bhoopeshwari by [[Pt. Mani Prasad]]
* Raga Prateeksha by Smt. [[Ashwini Bhide Deshpande]]
* Malavun Taak Deep by [[Lata Mangeshkar]]
* Ab Ke Hum Bichhde by [[Mehdi Hassan]]
* Chadta Suraj by Aziz Nazaan
