Raag Sri (Shree) is an ancient Hindustani classical raga belonging to the Poorvi thaat, known for its ability to evoke a spiritual and contemplative mood, especially during the evening hours. It's considered a "sunset raga" and is often associated with the season of Hemant (autumn-winter).

Raag Shree is generally associated with the KARUNA Rasa, which signifies grief, sadness, or sorrow, especially in the Odissi music tradition. In the Hindustani tradition, there are varying interpretations, with some associating it with Bhayanaka Rasa (fear) and others with Sringara Rasa (love and romance). However, the prevailing sentiment of Raag Shree, particularly in Hindustani music, is often described as serious, thought-provoking, and evoking a sense of devotion.
