About Main Virahini Baithi

Main Virahini Baithi is a khayal composition performed by vocalist Kishori Amonkar in the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana style. The track appears as the seventh entry on the album Bhaktimala – Krishna, Volume 2, released in 2005 on CD. The recording spans 6 minutes and 43 seconds and exemplifies Amonkar’s interpretation of devotional themes through classical Hindustani vocal techniques.

The album forms part of the Bhaktimala series, which compiles bhajans and khayals centered on the deity Krishna. Amonkar’s rendition in this track employs raga-based improvisation, though the specific raga remains undocumented in available sources. The composition reflects her signature approach to badhat (progressive elaboration) and taan (fast melodic passages), aligned with the emotional depth of viraha (separation) in devotional poetry.

No label information is explicitly attributed to this release in the provided context. The tracklist and production details beyond the artist, release year, format, and track duration are not fully verified. Amonkar’s contributions to Hindustani classical music, particularly in bhakti-oriented repertoire, position this recording within her broader discography of devotional and semi-classical works from the early 2000s.
