Rasia Hun Na Jaaun - Raga: Marubihag

Rasia Hun Na Jaaun is a khayal composition in Raga Marubihag performed by Kesarbai Kerkar, a prominent vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana in Hindustani classical music. The track appears as the ninth entry on the compilation album Golden Milestones, released on August 2003 by RPG in CD format.

The recording showcases Kerkar’s interpretation of Raga Marubihag, a raga associated with the late evening or early night (sandhi prakash) in the Hindustani tradition. The composition follows the khayal style, characterized by its improvisational alaap, rhythmic taan patterns, and lyrical elaboration. Kerkar’s rendition reflects the Jaipur-Atrauli approach, marked by intricate taan sequences, precise intonation, and a balance of technical rigor with emotional expression.

The album Golden Milestones compiles archival and studio recordings of Kerkar’s work, curated to highlight her contributions to 20th-century Hindustani vocal music. The label RPG produced the release as part of a series dedicated to preserving legacy performances. Specific session details, accompanying artists, or the original recording date of Rasia Hun Na Jaaun remain undocumented in available sources. The track duration and additional production credits are not specified in the provided context.

Kesarbai Kerkar (1892–1977) received the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award (1953) and the Padma Bhushan (1969) for her lifelong dedication to classical music. Her recordings, including this composition, serve as reference material for students of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana and broader Hindustani vocal traditions.
