No additional details about the accompanying artists, recording location, or production personnel are available in the provided context.

The track exemplifies Khan’s command over the sarod, an instrument central to the Hindustani classical tradition. The raga’s structure adheres to the Komal Ni (flat seventh) and Shuddha Ma (pure fourth) scales, characteristic of its parent Darbari Kanada thaat. The album’s focus on night ragas aligns with the broader practice of assigning specific ragas to particular times of day in Indian classical music.
