Mangal Murti Marut Nandan

Mangal Murti Marut Nandan is a devotional composition performed by the brothers Rajan Mishra and Sajan Mishra, prominent exponents of the Banaras gharana in Hindustani classical music. The track appears as the fourth entry on the album Bhaktimala – Hanuman Volume 1, released in 2005 under an unspecified label. The recording adopts a traditional bhajan format, centered on devotional themes dedicated to the Hindu deity Hanuman.

The track spans 8 minutes and 44 seconds, featuring the Mishra brothers’ signature vocal style characterized by intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing. The composition adheres to classical raga structures while incorporating lyrical praise for Hanuman, often referred to as Marut Nandan (son of the wind god) and Mangal Murti (auspicious deity). Instrumental accompaniment details remain undocumented, though traditional arrangements typically include the tanpura for drone support and light percussion such as the manjira or mridangam.
