Sri Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma was the Maharaja of the state of Travancore, in India. He reigned from 1829 until his death in 1846.
Besides being an able ruler, he was a patron of music and a musician by himself. He encouraged both broad systems of Indian music, Hindusthani and Carnatic music, though he was essentially a connoisseur of the Carnatic music tradition. He is credited with composing over 400 compositions in Carnatic music as well as Hindustani music. Some of his favorite compositions are Padmanabha Pahi, Deva Deva, Sarasijanabha and Sree Ramana Vibho. The king was fluent in a number of languages such as Sanskrit,Hindi,Malayalam,Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Tamil, Oriya and English.

Raga Charukeshi is a janya of the 26th melakartA of the same name with the following set (M=shuddha madhyam): S R G M P d n.Although a Carnatic raga, it is a common belief that raga Charukeshi is a new entrant to Hindustani Classical Music. It exists in the Hindustani style as Raga “Chandramauli”, but was probably popularised by the Carnatic style & therefore has become popular as “Charukeshi”
Due to the chalan of the raga, there are nuances of the Bhairav Ang, so many artists perform this raga in the morning.. Raga Chandramauli or Charukeshi as it is known today is a late night melody.
