She can enthrall you with supreme devotional fervour,as in Saint Thyagaraja's "Adamodi Galade" and Swathi Thirunal's "Krupaya Palaya"
She can woo you with sringara rasa,("Pasyati disi disi",the Jayadeva Ashtapathi- hear BMK singing this with great,soulful, charm or "Manmatha leelaiyai" by MKT from the Tamil film "Haridas"(download from M. K. Thiyagaraja Bhagavthar - item No. 31), or again,"Vasantha mullai" by TMS from the tamil film,"Sarangadara".(download from T.M. Soundarrajan's best - item No 43)
Charukesi is the 26th Melakartha raga,falling in the "Bana" Chakra.
It's aarohana/avarohana are:
Aa: S R2 G3 M1 P D1 N2S
Av: SN2D1PM1G3R2S
It is also known as "Tarangini" in the "Dikshitar Asampoorna Mela System",with :
Aa: S R2 G3 P D1 N2 D1 S
Av: S D1 P M1 G3 R2 S
OR
Aa: S R2 G3 P D1 N2 D1 P D1 S
Av: S D1 P G3 R2 S G3 M1 R2 G3 S
It is one of the melakarta ragas, which was not popular in the early days of concert singing,even though,Saint Thyagaraja's."Ada modi galade" was in existence for a few centuries.It became one of the popular ragas for concert singing after the popularity of the Swathi Thirunal krithi,"Krupaya Palaya sowre" in concert platforms.
It is a raga lending itself to compositions of great lyrical beauty,and capable of holding the listener in an enthralling appeal with it's simple arrangement of swaras and great emotional impact .
It is one of the main ragas chosen by musicians in concert platforms,often with very elaborate expositions lasting from 30 to 60 minutes,including,alapana,sangathis,neravals,intricate swaraprastharas,and also RTP's.It is usually sung in the first half of the concert if it is the main raga, or in the latter half of the concert if it is of a light "bhajan" variety.

Charukesi - ArOhaNam : PoorvAnga (sa ri ga ma) is ShankarAbharanam and UttarAnga (pa da ni Sa) is tOdi.
Some more points :
Charukesi - AvarOhaNam : PoorvAnga (Sa ni da pa) is tOdi and the uttarAnga (ma ga ri sa) is ShankarAbharanam.
This rAg's 'ma' moorchanai (shruti bEdam) takes to Gowri manohari
This rAg's 'ni' moorchanai (shruti bEdam) becomes Vachaspathi.
