Raga Bihag - Kaise Sukha Sove

Ragas Bihag, Durga & Basant. Dadra is a studio album of Hindustani classical vocal music performed by Padma Talwalkar. The label Nimbus Records released the recording on compact disc in 1998.

The album features three primary raga explorations alongside a lighter dadra composition. The opening track, \"Raga Bihag - Kaise Sukha Sove\", spans 20 minutes and 51 seconds and serves as the first of the album’s four recordings. Talwalkar renders the khayal in vilambit and drut tempos, adhering to the structural conventions of the Bihag raga in the Kafi thaat. Accompaniment details remain undocumented in available sources, though the performance follows the standard ensemble format of tabla and tanpura support.

The album title references the included ragas: Bihag, Durga, and Basant, alongside a concluding dadra in an unspecified raga. Nimbus Records categorized the release under its classical music division, targeting audiences of North Indian vocal traditions. No reissues or alternate formats have been confirmed. Track-specific lyrics or poetic sources for \"Kaise Sukha Sove\" are not publicly listed.
