Reflections Of Sunderban (Bhimpalasi)

Bhimpalasi (or Bhimpalashri) is today the major representative of the old Dhanashri group, which omits the swar Re and Dha in ascent. This group includes rag Dhani, Patdip, and Pilu, as well as Multani, although the latter has a completely different scale.

Here are two bandishes in tandem rendered by Manisha. The first bandish in Ektaal is a stuti of ShardaaMa, the next is the most popular bandish of Bhimpalasi.
Direction: Mahadev & Atul
अस्ताई
वरदे मोहे माँ तू मेरी, शरण मै तिहारी येरी
किजे कृपा मोपे विद्या को दानी
अंतरा
कमलासनी कमल नयन, विणा वाद्य शोभित कर
‘रामरंग’ वंदीत पद तिथीहर भवानी
-------------------------------------
अस्ताई
बिरज में धूम मचायो श्याम
कैसे मैं सखी जाऊँ अपने धाम
अंतरा
सब सखियन मिल होरी खेलत है 
अखियन डारत गुलाल
