Flute used for notation : C#

One of the best Bengali songs composed and sung by Kishore Kumar.  Can’t say on which Raag is it based, but its semi-classical mood makes it a treat for the ears.  Use of Komal Gandhar (g), Komal Nishad (n) and Komal Dhaiwat (d) is prominent in these notations.  Listen to this song a couple of times before playing it on your Bansuri or other instruments.
