The album Indian Music was issued in 1969 and features traditional Indian classical music. The label Standard Music Library distributed the release, though additional production details or accompanying artists remain undocumented. The track Raag Miyan Ki Malhaar adheres to the structure of the Miyan Ki Malhaar raga, a monsoon-themed raga in the Hindustani tradition associated with the Malhar family of ragas.

Mishra Bhankar presents the composition in a khyal style, a vocal form characterized by improvisation within the raga framework. The recording captures the artist’s interpretation of the raga, though specific instrumental accompaniment or lyrical content is not verified in available sources. The vinyl release reflects the era’s practice of compiling classical works for broader dissemination, though circulation metrics and reissue history are not recorded.

The 1969 pressing of Indian Music represents one of several mid-20th-century efforts to document Hindustani classical music on physical media. The album’s tracklist beyond Raag Miyan Ki Malhaar is partially documented, with side A3 confirmed as the third track on the A face of the vinyl. No digital remasters or expanded editions of this specific recording are confirmed in public archives.
