Raga Hansdhwani

Pannalal Ghosh performed Raga Hansdhwani as the seventh track on the compilation album The Great Heritage – Pt. Pannalal Ghosh. Saregama released the album on CD in 2011. The recording spans 2 minutes and 54 seconds.

The album compiles archival performances by Ghosh, a flutist and composer recognized for his contributions to Hindustani classical music. The label did not specify the original recording date or venue for this track. Ghosh adapted the flute as a solo instrument in Indian classical tradition and developed the bansuri with seven holes to expand its tonal range. Raga Hansdhwani belongs to the Bilawal thaat and features a light, melodic structure often associated with evening performances.

Saregama packaged the album as part of its Great Heritage series, which highlights recordings by influential 20th-century Indian classical artists. The release includes liner notes but does not provide detailed session credits for accompanying musicians or production personnel. The tracklist features Ghosh’s interpretations of ragas alongside instrumental compositions.

No additional versions or live renditions of this specific recording appear in documented releases. The album remains available through physical and digital retailers under Saregama’s catalog. The label retains the original master rights, and no remastered editions have been issued as of the latest available records.
