Basant Drut II Episode 345 || Bandish 361 || 1001 BANDISHES || Manali Bose

Manali Bose sings Raga Basant set to Drut Teentaal. This bandish celebrates the vibrant arrival of Vasant (spring) and the joyous atmosphere of the Phag/Holi season in Braj. The text evokes the traditional imagery of devotees and companions setting out to witness the festive celebrations of Braj, where the youthful Kanhaiya (Krishna) is expected to appear amidst the revelry. Nature itself mirrors the spirit of the season: forests bloom with flowers, and birds sing melodiously, signalling the fullness of spring. The poetry thus intertwines the seasonal exuberance of Basant with the Krishna-centric aesthetic of Braj, a theme deeply embedded in the North Indian musical and literary imagination. Sung in Teentaal, the composition provides ample scope for elaboration while preserving the lyrical charm associated with springtime repertoire in Hindustani classical music. 1001 BANDISHES OF THE GREAT MAESTROS (EPISODE 345-BANDISH 361) Raga : BASANT Taal: Ektaal Thaat: Poorvi Jaati: Sampurna Time: Seasonal (Spring) Vadi: Sa (Upper octave) Samvadi: Pa #indian_classical_music #satrangee #Raga_Basant #indian_classical_compositions #Manali_Bose #Basant_Ritu LYRICS Phagwa brij dekhan ko chalori Phagwe mein milenge KuNwar Kanh JahaaN baat chalata bole kagwa.
