Kotali Gharana
Ruchira Panda, a renowned and leading vocalist of Kotali Gharana sings Raga Dhulia Malhar, a spectacular rendition of the rain-bringing Raag with an original Kotali Composition of Pandit Manas Chakraborty.
A Dhuliya Malhar / Dhulia Malhar / Dhuria Malhar ( the Komal Gandhar version ) that is sombre, and subtle. Both Gandhars are used in some gharanas and some drop the Gandhar altogether.
“E Ata Chhayo” – a vilambit bandish composed by Pandit Manas Chakraborty.
