Ullanghya Sindho Salilam Saleelam

Ullanghya Sindho Salilam Saleelam is a devotional composition performed by Pandit Jasraj, a prominent exponent of the Mewati gharana in Hindustani classical music. The track appears as the third entry on the album Bhaktimala – Hanuman Volume 1, released in 2005 under an unspecified label. The recording adopts a CD format and spans a duration of 9 minutes and 18 seconds.

The composition draws from the bhakti tradition, centering on themes of devotion to Hanuman, a revered figure in Hindu mythology. Pandit Jasraj renders the piece in his signature vocal style, characterized by intricate meend (glissando) and gamak (ornamentation) techniques. The lyrical content employs Sanskrit verses, though the specific poetic source or composer remains undocumented in available references. Accompaniment details, including instrumental support or collaborating artists, are not explicitly credited in the release metadata.

The album Bhaktimala – Hanuman Volume 1 forms part of a larger series dedicated to devotional music, curated under the Bhaktimala banner. The collection emphasizes classical interpretations of hymns and stotras (devotional chants) associated with Hanuman. While the release year confirms its production in the mid-2000s, further information regarding recording locations, producers, or additional contributing musicians is not publicly verified. The track exemplifies Pandit Jasraj’s later-career work, blending classical rigor with devotional expression.

Notable for its extended duration, Ullanghya Sindho Salilam Saleelam allows for elaborate alaap (improvisational prelude) and taan (fast melodic passages) sections, hallmarks of the khayal genre adapted here for devotional context. The composition’s structure adheres to traditional raga frameworks, though the specific raga employed is not confirmed in the album’s liner notes. The recording’s reception and commercial performance remain uncharted in accessible archives.
