Nazar Di Bahar and Kaisi Yeh Bhalayi

Nazar Di Bahar / Kaisi Yeh Bhalayi is a dual-composition track performed by Hindustani classical vocalist Malini Rajurkar. The recording appears as the third track on an unnamed studio album released for the first time on compact disc. The album emerged under the Saregama label on an unspecified date in 2009.

The track spans 19 minutes and 58 seconds, blending two distinct khayal compositions in a single continuous performance. The first segment, Nazar Di Bahar, is set in a raga and tala structure traditional to the Gwalior gharana, a school with which Rajurkar is closely associated. The second segment, Kaisi Yeh Bhalayi, follows without interruption, maintaining the concert-style presentation typical of her live and recorded repertoire. The album format and production details suggest a studio capture, though specific session information remains undocumented.

Malini Rajurkar rendered both compositions in her characteristic style, emphasizing bol-banao (lyrical elaboration) and layered taan patterns. The accompaniment artists for this recording are not credited in available sources. The release marked one of Rajurkar’s later commercial recordings, issued during her established career as a performer and guru of the Gwalior tradition.

The CD format under Saregama included no additional metadata about the raga selection, accompanying instrumentalists, or recording location. The album itself lacks a widely recognized title in public references, with the track often identified by its two composition names in catalogs and vendor listings. The 2009 release date aligns with Saregama’s broader efforts to digitize and reissue classical Indian music from its archives during that period.
