It was totally magical watching Raga Unveiled. A visual treat, so fulfilling, Divine... like a Raga
itself . The film to be this complete... none other than an artist herself could've created that…This
film is the best exploration of the vast expanses of Hindustani Classical music capturing its very
soul, it is to be cherished forever!
“I watched this documentary by Gita Desai, Raga Unveiled, years ago when it first came out, since then
many times over! More than 4 hours long, it blew my mind and captured my heart. It brought India to
me, introduced me to music gurus and masters, and educated my mind about this profound, transformative
art music. I consider this a treasure of a film—a must-have for all students and lovers of kirtan and
Indian Classical music.”
“I am a tabla player for 20 years and a bansuri student. I finished just 1 DVD, and need to watch it
at least 30 more times to soak it all up. Pretty amazing archival work. Each interview left me wanting
to see more. You see, prolific playing is certainly one thing to enjoy, but salient.”
“For the study of Indian Classical Music, there is no greater resource than "Raga Unveiled". Using it
in the classroom is like taking your students on an in-depth research trip to India. I am grateful
that such a resource exists. A true educational treasure.”
"Raga Unveiled is a unique and timeless masterpiece. Gita Desai has produced the ultimate,
contemporary, guide to India's rich and unparalleled relationship between sound and the deepest levels
of the soul.”
