VIDYADHAR VYAS presents ragas Bhatiyar and Alhaiya Bilaval, both of which are traditionally performed in the morning and, keeping the morning spirit, a bhajan as the finale. Gwalior musicians, especially of the line propagated by V. D. Paluskar, customarily sing bhajans to end a recital. This Surdas bhajan is based on raga Mand, a melody predominant in the folk music of Rajasthan and Gujarat, with lyrics about the unfathomable way of nature.
