I found this lovely thumri sung by Lakshmi Shankar and one of her students listening on MusicIndiaonline.com. It is listed as being on the Album Bhakti Ras, but looking on Amazon and iTunes - this song is not included in listed items. Nor can I find it among her other CDs.

If you have this CD, is this song included on one of the cuts but not listed? If it is not included, do you know where to find this song?

thanks for your help!

Dear Connie D and others;

Thank you for sharing link to this beautiful thumri. I have it in my collection and had converted sometime ago from an old casette to mp3 format.

For those who do not have heard it, here it is.

It is sung by Lakshmi Shankar and Nirmala Devi (also known as Nirmala Arun).

I have 3 other thumris by this duo and if there is any interest, would be glad to upload them.

Thank you, Prabhkar - I woke up with that thumri still running in my head....now I will just have have to figure out how to upload something. Here is my favorite shehnai player Ahmed Hussain with raags Kalavati and Gorakh Kalyan, both thaat Kamaj When I listen to them I imagine I am on a vast plain with the sun

Thank you Prabhakar! Now I will have to upload something! Wish me luck!
