Gara belongs to a family of ragas, which were apparently derived from folk melodies, and entered art-music in association with the Thumree genre. Gara is a rare raga. But, if you have heard several renditions of it, you could be confused because one Gara often does not sound like others. There is a good reason for this because Gara, is not the exclusive name of a well-defined melodic entity. Gara is, in fact, an independent raga, as well as an additive fragrance to other ragas; and that too, in two variants. If there is confusion about Gara, it is because musicians might announce, simply, Gara, when they decide to perform one of the two variants, each of which has a self-explanatory name.
কি যে ভালো লাগলো , তা আর বলবার নয়! ধন্যবাদ সকলকে ।
Undoudtedly Samrat of Sitar vadan.
Is this more like Mishra Gara ?
Yes there are Mishra elements here. But then, we are simply enjoying his music and his gift. Thank you for your comment.

Yes, it reminds one of Mishra Shivranjini:
