27. Would it be then correct if Bageshri is played avoiding Pancham altogether?

Would it be then correct if Bageshri is played avoiding Pancham altogether?

Why would you like to miss the described advantages? In any case Pancham is hardly included in developing alap in the lower and middle octave upto Madhyam. It is only after the music community accepts the change if any, that it becomes a part of the chalan of the raga. Even if the first initial is not a capital for proper nouns, people will recognise the intent. Similarly if you do not use Pancham in Bageshri chalan, people will still recognise it as Bageshri with a remark that the musician’s grammar seems to be weak !!!
