Are there examples of performances where the raga is based on a different pitch than the left-hand three fingers down Sa?

Or to phrase it another way, do Bansuri players ever transpose fingerings, or always just choose a flute in the key that is needed?

edit: thanks for the replies! I come from a Western flute background where flutes frequently play in keys starting on a variety of notes on the instrument. it sounds like with Bansuri this is more common in light or popular music but in classical raga playing they mostly stick to 3=sa.
