Sunder Swaroop Jaake

Sunder Swaroop Jaake is a khayal composition performed by Hirabai Barodekar, a prominent vocalist of the Kirana gharana in Hindustani classical music. The track appears as the seventh entry on the compilation album The Great Heritage: Hirabai Barodekar, released on CD by Saregama in 2011.

The recording spans 3 minutes and 10 seconds. The album curates archival performances by Barodekar, showcasing her command of raga interpretation and vocal technique. Specific details about the raga, taal, or lyrical content of Sunder Swaroop Jaake remain undocumented in available sources. The compilation serves as part of Saregama’s efforts to preserve and disseminate recordings of foundational Hindustani classical artists from the mid-20th century.

Hirabai Barodekar (1905–1989) trained under Ustad Abdul Karim Khan and Sawai Gandharva, contributing to the propagation of the Kirana style. Her repertoire included khayal, bhajan, and natyasangeet, though The Great Heritage focuses primarily on classical khayal renditions. The album does not specify accompanying artists or instrumentalists for this track.

The 2011 release forms one installment in Saregama’s Great Heritage series, which repackages historical recordings for contemporary audiences. Physical copies of the CD include liner notes, though digital distributions may omit supplementary material. No alternate versions or live renditions of Sunder Swaroop Jaake by Barodekar are widely cataloged.
