Raaga Bhimpalasi as per the Hindustani name of this raag, sung in the style of Odissi music. The bandish (geeta) of the raaga is an eighteenth century composition of the poet Raghunath. This is a request by Radha to her Sakhis to convey to Krishna that she is pining away for him and the streams of tears from her eyes are like waterfalls that she cannot control.
The second piece is an old tadition composition again referring to the Radha Krishna theme.
Performance in the Balakrusna Das Foundation concert, March 2014.
