The composition adheres to the raga’s aroha-avroha structure, incorporating the komal re and komal dha swaras. Accompaniment details remain undocumented in the provided context, but the track reflects Joshi’s mastery in blending lyrical devotion with classical improvisation.

The album Raagadhiraj serves as a late-career recording in Joshi’s discography, capturing his enduring influence on Hindustani vocal music. Saregama distributed the release as part of its classical music catalog, though specific production credits or additional contributing artists are not specified in the available information. The tracklist includes other raga-based performances, but only Raga Bhairavi: Bhajan is confirmed by the given context.
