About Raga: Nandkauns, Khayal - Vilambit Ektaal, 'Vyakul Nainan Neer Bahayen', Khayal - Drut Teentaal, 'Padoon Tore Main Paiyan'

Parween Sultana performed Raga Nandkauns as part of the 1997 album Bhavani Dayani. The label Saregama released the recording on CD. The track spans 21 minutes and occupies the second position in the album sequence.

The composition features two khayal renditions in the raga. Sultana presents the vilambit section in Ektaal with the bandish Vyakul Nainan Neer Bahayen. The drut section follows in Teentaal with the bandish Padoon Tore Main Paiyan. The performance adheres to the structural conventions of North Indian classical vocal music, emphasizing alaap, bol-banao, and taan development.

The album Bhavani Dayani emerged as a studio production under Saregama’s classical music catalog. The release date is documented as 1997, though specific recording sessions or accompanying artists remain unverified in the provided context. Sultana’s interpretation of Nandkauns aligns with her established repertoire in the Patiala gharana tradition, characterized by intricate taan patterns and emotive phrasing.

No additional metadata confirms live performance elements, alternate takes, or reissues of this track. The CD format suggests distribution primarily in India’s commercial classical music market during the late 1990s.
