Rāg Tilak Kamod

Rāg Tilak Kamod is a 36-minute-28-second khayāl-based performance recorded by sitarist Nishat Khan and tabla player Shafaatullah Khan. The track appears as the second composition on the 1998 album Rāg Bhīmpalāsī / Rāg Tilak Kamod, released by Nimbus Records in CD format.

The album presents two extended raga explorations in the Hindustani classical tradition. Nishat Khan performs on sitar with Shafaatullah Khan providing tabla accompaniment. The recording captures a live studio rendition of Rāg Tilak Kamod, a raga associated with the late evening or early night thāt system. The performance follows the conventional ālāp-jor-jhālā progression before transitioning into composed and improvised sections.

The 1998 release marks one of several collaborations between the two artists under the Nimbus Records classical series. The label produced the album as part of its catalog dedicated to North Indian instrumental music. No additional session musicians or vocalists contribute to this track. The liner notes or original packaging may contain further details on the raga structure or performance context, but these are not documented in the available metadata.

The companion track on the album, Rāg Bhīmpalāsī, occupies the first position, though its duration and specific performance details remain unconfirmed in this context. The combined release emphasizes the contrast between the two ragas through extended solo and accompaniment interplay.
