Overview
Raag Kirwani is a dramatic and emotionally intense late-evening raag that entered the Hindustani tradition from Carnatic music (where it is known as Keeravani). It uses komal Ga and komal Dha while keeping Re, Ma, Pa, and Ni shuddh, creating a melodic palette with strong dramatic tension. Its Carnatic roots give it a distinctive flavor within the Hindustani framework.
