Charukesi is the kind of raga that can melt a rock. It is the kind of raga that can move anyone. Just in case if you are not moved, just have one drink and you will get very emotional and be totally moved:) Usually when you listen to charukesi and get in that mood, no other raga can satisfy you. This is because of the intensity of the raga. It could evoke a lot of nostalgia. The raga is well suited for ghazals and devotional songs. Lyrics plays a huge role in charukesi. With highly touching lyrics, this raga can be very powerful.
