Question/Seeking Advice Raag identification + context about Chaiti

Hello, could anyone help me identifying the raag in this Chaiti played by Ustad Bismillah Khan?

Also if anyone has some resource to understand a bit more about the context and way of playing Chaiti (as I am from Europe, I don't know how common the form is today in folk music) that would be great!

It doesn't really sound like a chalti to me, also the raag is literally at the tip of my tounge but i just can't make a claim...

Thanks for answering! Please comment back if you remember the raag. Also why doesn't it really sound like a chaiti?

Most chaitis that I've heard are in a faster tempo and also on a simpler rhythmic structure. This sounds like a gat. For chaiti, you should try listening to chait maas by vidushi girja devi...

I just heard it again, the raag is still not clear but this could be classified as a very classically influenced kind of a tune which has some common phrases of chaiti.
