  1. Can you please let us have downloadable versions? Also, I believe the recording marked as Malavika Kanan is by Manik Varma. Thanks!

    1. You’re absolutely correct it is Maluha Kedar! Thank you but we have not gotten around to scrub a few things like this. WE will post the actual behag next go-around but this is Maluha Kedar. Thank you Mr. Rao.

  4. The only ghazal on this compilation of Ust.Barkat Ali Khan Sahib is short and sweet but such a gem.This one is so soulfully sung and is a rare treat.Simply fantastic.
    Keep looking for other ghazals,thumris of him Aftab Sahib .I have listened to many more of them. I am a regular follower and love archives.
