    I have heard the ma dha sa sa tuning for Bageshri only with a single
    "small" tanpura for an instrumental performance.

    Thanks. I am not sure how many strings a small tanpura has and what
    rules apply to its tuning. If it has 5 strings, m D S' S' S is okay.
    Pt. Hari Prasad Chaurasia (in Audiorec CD ACCD 1008) has used a 5-string tanpura tuned to <m D S' S' S> for Rag Marwa. (m = thivra ma).

    Great info .
    So this is an example of a diminished chord on a tanpura . ( F# dim / C , if C is the tonic )
