The occasion was Soorya festival in 1980s. Venue was senate hall of Kerala University. His family members , few daughters and grand children were present on the stage. In fact, one of the little child was crying and she was made to sit facing the opposite side of the mic so that the child music did not mix his with music. In the next days news paper, there was a photograph of the same . Title was back facing child music. Mallikarjun ji was not bothered about the child music. 😂. Unfortunately, I do not remember the raga he rendered on that day.

As far as my knowledge goes, this version of Bahaduri Todi is known as version 2 within the repertoire of Mansur ji's strand within Atrauli gharana... it has some affinities to Bilaskhani but is distinct from it as well. For anything more than that, it would be better to reach out to gharana practitioners like Shruti Tai, Manjiri Tai and others. Best wishes. 🙂

What a bliss to listen Panditji ! I've listened many artist's singing same raga and composition (were Marathi though) but very few artists were able to bringout the soul in this geet, Pt. Mansur hits that list. This is raag Arabhi, a variation of raag durga with shuddha gandhar. They say that original geet was in kannada in taal dadra. In marathi this is translated as ‘ Chandrika hi janu ’ - natyapad from ‘ Manapaman ’ (drama). Many artists have sung it in different taala, Master Dinanath used to sing it in rupak, Bhimsenji used to sing in addha teentaal. Among many artists my favourite was of Master Dinanath's recording, Ustad Abdul Karim Khansaheb's recording, Chotta Gandharva's recording, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi's recording from 2001 (his old recordings were also good but still the completeness was still missing until now), Pt. Kumar Gandharva (he presented this in Marathi but in Dadra and his style of presentation was completely different from usual artist's, pure melody) and obviously Pt. Mansurji's piece. Ustad Abdul Karim Khansaheb has sung this natyageet in Raag Devgandhari(almost similar to Raag Arabhi). Unlike old days, latest recordings get more time for presentation but they still fail to bring out that sweetness which these old days artist's used to bring in few minutes. Pt. Mansur really used to sing every style (in early days) with his melodious voice and used to bring soul in his presentations. Also later on, reflected his brilliance in khayal gayaki. Mr. Zuberiji, you are doing really great work for us rasikaas by uploading his recordings. Hearing to every masterpiece of Mansurappa on your channel has become my daily schedule. Looking forward to more recordings of this maestro. Please upload more khayal gayaki of Pt. Rajshekhar Mansur if available.

This is highest show of Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur's scholarship. The short association with Ustad Manji Khan Saheb must have been one of the most intense guru-shishya association in the world of Hindustani classical music. Mansur never forgot this and always gave due credit to Manji Khan saheb. I even saw a photograph of Manji khan saheb at the "Devghar" of Mruntyunjaya (his residence) for worshiping,. I visited the residence of Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur in Dharwad couple of years ago. It was a pilgrimage for me.
