Thumri Des

Jagdish Prasad performed the thumri Thumri Des as the second track on his 2011 album Shraddhanjali: Jagdish Prasad. The recording spans 11 minutes and 3 seconds and exemplifies the thumri genre within the Benaras gharana tradition. Saregama released the album on CD.

The composition centers on the raag Des, a melodic framework associated with late evening performances. Jagdish Prasad’s rendition incorporates lyrical improvisations and rhythmic variations characteristic of the thumri form. The album serves as a posthumous tribute, though specific production details beyond the label and format remain undocumented.

Shraddhanjali: Jagdish Prasad compiles traditional and semi-classical works by the artist. The tracklist sequence positions Thumri Des early in the collection, suggesting its role as a foundational piece within the release. No additional session musicians or accompanying artists are credited in available sources.

The 2011 CD release aligns with Saregama’s catalog of Indian classical and devotional music. The label distributed the album in physical format, with no confirmed digital reissues or alternate editions documented. The artwork and liner notes, if included, focus on Jagdish Prasad’s contributions to the Benaras vocal tradition.
