As if the ancestors of this beautiful Rajbari were watching from heaven and perhaps applauding the performance with thunder The Bawali Rajbari came alive that evening...I feel so lucky to have been present at that unique moment
How beautifully u explained Nabanita ji..this is divine...( there is a Jugalbandi of UVK with his brother on Srbahar in this same raga....with Shamta Prasad on Tabla..was my dads very FVRT...pls listen if not yet ...audio )
This is the best rendition of this raag I've heard. It's not just the backdrop noises (thunder + sound of rain falling on concrete), it is also the marvel of the tabla. Mr. Nandy is an absolute genius to 'control' and 'exert' the resonating power of the tabla - how does he do that? And as for Pandit Mukherjee, any superlatives will sound superficial.
This is the most compelling video on your channel in terms of technical difficulty of shooting, audio capture, mixing, musicianship and artistic integrity. Sets the bar exceptionally high.
1000 years of rich musical heritage and art condensed into an incredible 16 minute performance. Towards the end Pandit ji's jhala even overpowers the sound of thunder in the background. A beautiful confluence of nature and music. I can only envy those who were fortunate enough to experience this live. Thanks for sharing.

The Monsoon season is meant for listening to Mian ki Malhar. This is an awesome sitar recital by Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee, recorded in the midst of a thunderstorm, that you can actually see and hear in the background. Never have I seen such a performance. It has to be seen and heard, to be believed. Kudos to Darbar Festival for such a unique recording.
Rare smiles of Panditji, he himself with the tabla player is immensely enjoying. My kudos to the organisers. And yes, Surbahar would have been the best.
I have zero knowledge of music. But if such a piece holds ppl like me who can only understand Bollywood and Punjabi songs. Then it's definitely something beyond words. Thnk u and kindly mention the name of man on tabla. He really challenged thunderstorms.

Really an amazing concept by Darbar. What to say about Pandit ji, firing the depth of swars like he always does. This kind of job in which you have to depict the nature of monsoon where it is actually happening could only be achieved on sitar by him. He really is competing and overpowering the clouds in thunderstruck lightening! I just wish he played surbahar here! But thanks a lot to Darbar team!
At 12:09 felt like that another tansen is playing sitar!!!!!How beautiful is this part begins..... Even the musician feels like he's very joyous and enjoying playing the sitar and nature paying tribute to them!!!!!!!

Can feel it raining inside my home while listening to this, even as it looks ominous outside with Nisarga approaching Mumbai.... This is sheer bliss! Jugalbandi between the thunder and the Sitar.... while the raindrops and Tabla provide the vital accompaniment...

The design and the concept of this whole piece has stimulated the effect of Mian ki Malhar to a transcendent level. What a wonderful quality work by Darbar Festival. Many many thanks for this.
Ended too soon! Nevertheless took a while to return to reality and adjust to the fact that it's not raining in Kolkata where I'm sitting listening to this... Syed Mujtaba Ali, the illustrious Bengali author, related an event involving late Ustad Faiyaz Khan Sahab when they were both in the employment of the Maharaja of Baroda. Paraphrasing from Ali's description: at an evening recital at his house, upon the Ustad's enquiry on what raga to sing next after his initial overture, a rather reticent and reluctant visiting lady ordered "Malhar". Baroda was then passing through a prolonged dry spell. But even as the Ustad was concluding his Malhar khayal, a few drops of rain appeared! However, the Ustad sat quietly through the effusive praise showered upon him by the overwhelmed audience as if it pained him; and after they had all dispersed, diffidently asked his host Ali, "Why do people shame me so? Nature obeys Almighty God alone, what power do mere mortals like me have to command it?" Ali's reply was no less memorable than the occurrence, "I don't claim to know God's ways; but tonight I'm sure He wished to save His servant's honour".
@@ryanchase9746 Those are the names the British gave to the cities. I assume they just found it hard to pronounce Kolkata or Mumbai :/ We reverted to the original names later.
I am carried all the way to the richly imagination that Indian Civilization rains should return to our parched world lands- that World Guru will restore to this world its reason, true Vedant reason in the glory downpours of which all can bathe drenched to their skins, and yes the very souls.
I've cassette, from RPG, probably, of Pt. Mukherjee. I used to put that cassette in walkman, and go to sleep. It was in 96-97. And after 24 years, I'm seeing him here. Nostalgic.

...actually it reminds me of the dinner party I gave when I lived in SW France and the guests accused me of going over the top with the special effects. An unexpected tornado turned up, locked in the leafy 300yr old trees on the village green next to my house. It wasn't so much all the roads being blocked with trees (uprooted or twisted off 2m or 3m up their trunks by the violent and insistent force of the wind) that prevented my guests gong home but the fact that both their cars were written off. The tree that flattened one of them landed within less than 1m of the dining room - I had sensed something but the noise of the wind drowned out (!) that of the rain and thunder. An unforgettable evening!

That right there is the sound of thousands of years of civilisation! Mesmerising as I listen to this masterpiece and light showers of rain rejuvenating the soil in this magical city of Jaipur. I am certain that the apsaras in Indra's court would have been dancing when this raga was played by Panditji in the majestic Rajbari.
Saw a raag malhara performance in Bandish Bandits yesterday and it started raining in Delhi. Since then I've been on Raag malhara trip. I'm loving the continuous rain. 😁😁
The first re pa ga MA re sa after the thunderstorm was enough to start the journey of goosebumps.... This man can throw anybody away with his dexterity and poise.... And absolute cream of a theka by soumen nandyji... Thanks darbar for restoring the faith in Indian classical music though such videos
Well, it WAS already storming when they began, so we can't claim the raga brought the rain. But there WERE times when it seems to be a jugalbandi... Great job, all involved. The definitive Miyan Ki Malhar video for certain.
@David Kempton : Dear David...its just a casual reference. Legend / Myth has it that Miyan Tansen brought down stormclouds and rain when he sang Miyan-ki-Mallhar. Of course, it is part of India's 5000 years old heritage. No one takes it literally. Otherwise, we would not be suffering drought year after year. We imbue reality with magical meanings , sometimes. Makes life interesting. Though not rational. However please notice Panditji's gaze at the end of his rendition...at 15:43. It is an inward gaze. Rationality falters here. I get goosebumps at that look, and feel that I am in the presence of something larger. Peace

Better than any other sitarist in the Imdadkhan gharana Budhaditya captures the magic of Ustad Vilayat Khan at the height of his creative powers in the 1960's 70's.

This channel is dripping with perfection and creativity. Their intro shots, the setup, the background, everything is as divine as it can be. This performance is a benchmark of classical presentation that many others must follow if classical music is to be preserved. Such innovative and creative techniques that establish the connection of raag with its true environment is pure brilliance. You must notice that I am rambling it is because the thrall of this performance has left me speechless. Hats off to everyone involved in this project especially in this video. A zillion thanks would not be sufficient to praise this legend! God bless each and everyone of you with eternal happiness for providing countless serenity, calm and true aesthete in our lives.

How beautifully u explained Nabanita ji..this is divine...( there is a Jugalbandi of UVK with his brother on Srbahar in this same raga....with Shamta Prasad on Tabla..was my dads very FVRT...pls listen if not yet ...audio )
wha what a evening , in all these years of classical music , i have to say its one for the books .
Guruji is only sitarist of this time who can really bring heaven on this earth with his sitar. I am unfortunate enough
Was there a real thunderstorm ?
Brilliant anyway
This is the best rendition of this raag I've heard. It's not just the backdrop noises (thunder + sound of rain falling on concrete), it is also the marvel of the tabla. Mr. Nandy is an absolute genius to 'control' and 'exert' the resonating power of the tabla - how does he do that? And as for Pandit Mukherjee, any superlatives will sound superficial.
This is the most compelling video on your channel in terms of technical difficulty of shooting, audio capture, mixing, musicianship and artistic integrity. Sets the bar exceptionally high.
👌💕
1000 years of rich musical heritage and art condensed into an incredible 16 minute performance. Towards the end Pandit ji's jhala even overpowers the sound of thunder in the background. A beautiful confluence of nature and music. I can only envy those who were fortunate enough to experience this live. Thanks for sharing.
I read your comment before getting to that end part and... ooooh were you right! Incredible.
Indian culture is older than that
1000's but no one cares about it anymore, unless it starts trending.....😑
It is said this raag, when performed properly can bring rainfall. I now believe it.

I am absolutely SPEECHLESS at that video. I literally have no words. Will "Wah" be enough? I really don't think so. Mashallah Pandit ji, and kudos to the whole team! You've completely outdone yourselves!
Don't know whether the rain is complementing the music, or the music complements the rain!!
Both are complementing each other
Thunder
well said sir! "poetry is made at the edge of running water"
Are we a drop in the ocean? Or an ocean in a drop?
@@Rudrakshiva we are a drop in the ocean, identical to all that exists, the only barrier that exists is our ignorance about existence.
14:40 when the tempo increased, the syllables sounded like "Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Sita Ram". I love the divinity of Indian classical music.

IN MY EARS IS SOUND LIKE SITA RAVAN SITARAVAN SITA RAVAN
Mother nature is the third artist in this performance. She has complemented them in the most perfect way possible. Simply splendid.
He's like Shiva. Unconquerable. Durdhasha. Pranam!
It felt like one of the pages from the history books, that came alive, and the time stood still, what an incredible performance by the great maestro.
Hirak Sarkar so well put brother.
The Monsoon season is meant for listening to Mian ki Malhar. This is an awesome sitar recital by Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee, recorded in the midst of a thunderstorm, that you can actually see and hear in the background. Never have I seen such a performance. It has to be seen and heard, to be believed. Kudos to Darbar Festival for such a unique recording.
Rare smiles of Panditji, he himself with the tabla player is immensely enjoying. My kudos to the organisers. And yes, Surbahar would have been the best.
it's monsoon now and was craving to hear this raga on sitar..... wish fullfilled......blissed.
The title should be '' jugalbandhi of human and nature...... "
I have zero knowledge of music. But if such a piece holds ppl like me who can only understand Bollywood and Punjabi songs. Then it's definitely something beyond words. Thnk u and kindly mention the name of man on tabla. He really challenged thunderstorms.
Thank you Bharti Tyagi!

If Sri Krishna would play the sitar instead of flute , it would sound like this !
Very beautifully said and I subscribe to your view. The experience is simply divine.
Did Sri Krishna ever play sitar? Never heard of such ridiculous nonsense ever!
@@victoriousrufus6747 He put an 'if' in his statement, dipshit. Enjoy the music and the thought for what they are.
Mr Roy sound itself is Krishna what ur saying that u loved the music I. E sound bhai Krishna is sound himself read the Gita u will find out how lord Krishna is everything everything and everything
it's raining heavily outside and I can't describe the happiness after listening this beautiful raag miyan ki malhar,😄😄😊😘⛈🌈
pandya vedant ,, it's really raining here with sparks and thunders, I am enjoying listening to this music,,, but my husband is shouting on me to cut the net, lest it damages full set,, Mrs Rajya Lakshmi Pantulu
Of course you will feel happy this raag is made for raining and to experience it you need to listen it in raining
Perfection! Amazing performance by two masters. Hats off to the sound engineer, too!
Tabla improvisation ending at 6:13 is Wah!! Kya bhat. A great hand he has.
...also given a free hand by Panditji. You have to get the opportunity to show your skills by the main artiste!
Universal Rhythm *baat
Was so wanting a close-up of the Tabla at 14:57! And what a hauntingly gorgeous way to end the video, with a single candle being blown out..and thank you for sharing the behind the scenes story! Bahut Dhanyavad Darbar channel!
Never seen such a mindblowing stage beauty and the stage atmosphere before ever.... would love to spend my whole life there playing sitar.....🙏🙏

This rendition of Miyan Ki Malhar can bring shattering thunderstorm in my eyes!
No other words left. Too mesmerized!
Definitely the finest Darbar video. This is just unreal. Budhaditya Mukherjee has been one of the finest in this era and he has only gotten better over the years. If you have the right audio set up at home and you listen to this, you might be the luckiest.

Really an amazing concept by Darbar. What to say about Pandit ji, firing the depth of swars like he always does. This kind of job in which you have to depict the nature of monsoon where it is actually happening could only be achieved on sitar by him. He really is competing and overpowering the clouds in thunderstruck lightening! I just wish he played surbahar here! But thanks a lot to Darbar team!
It's as if they have channelled the beauty of the thunderstorm and translated it into this incredible music. Just pure magic!!
At 12:09 felt like that another tansen is playing sitar!!!!!How beautiful is this part begins..... Even the musician feels like he's very joyous and enjoying playing the sitar and nature paying tribute to them!!!!!!!

Can feel it raining inside my home while listening to this, even as it looks ominous outside with Nisarga approaching Mumbai.... This is sheer bliss! Jugalbandi between the thunder and the Sitar.... while the raindrops and Tabla provide the vital accompaniment...

The design and the concept of this whole piece has stimulated the effect of Mian ki Malhar to a transcendent level. What a wonderful quality work by Darbar Festival. Many many thanks for this.
Ended too soon! Nevertheless took a while to return to reality and adjust to the fact that it's not raining in Kolkata where I'm sitting listening to this...
Syed Mujtaba Ali, the illustrious Bengali author, related an event involving late Ustad Faiyaz Khan Sahab when they were both in the employment of the Maharaja of Baroda. Paraphrasing from Ali's description: at an evening recital at his house, upon the Ustad's enquiry on what raga to sing next after his initial overture, a rather reticent and reluctant visiting lady ordered "Malhar".
Baroda was then passing through a prolonged dry spell. But even as the Ustad was concluding his Malhar khayal, a few drops of rain appeared!
However, the Ustad sat quietly through the effusive praise showered upon him by the overwhelmed audience as if it pained him; and after they had all dispersed, diffidently asked his host Ali, "Why do people shame me so? Nature obeys Almighty God alone, what power do mere mortals like me have to command it?"
Ali's reply was no less memorable than the occurrence, "I don't claim to know God's ways; but tonight I'm sure He wished to save His servant's honour".
Arindam Sengupta thanks for sharing.
Just curious, why have your cities' names changed? Calcutta, Bombay, etc.
@@ryanchase9746 Those are the names the British gave to the cities. I assume they just found it hard to pronounce Kolkata or Mumbai :/ We reverted to the original names later.
Arindam da, wonderful story ! It is people like you who keep our heritage and our histories alive. Salüt !
I am carried all the way to the richly imagination that Indian Civilization rains should return to our parched world lands- that World Guru will restore to this world its reason, true Vedant reason in the glory downpours of which all can bathe drenched to their skins, and yes the very souls.
The description of the video says it all. Incredible!!!!
Lucky to watch the video..
Lucky to born in India having such a great heritage of classical music..
Speechless..
I've cassette, from RPG, probably, of Pt. Mukherjee. I used to put that cassette in walkman, and go to sleep. It was in 96-97.
And after 24 years, I'm seeing him here.
Nostalgic.
3 artist is God of Thunder & Rain, Indra dev🙏.
It looks so perfect.

Out of words. Malhar in a thunderstorm is simply an ethereal experience. The goosebumps just won't settle!
...actually it reminds me of the dinner party I gave when I lived in SW France and the guests accused me of going over the top with the special effects. An unexpected tornado turned up, locked in the leafy 300yr old trees on the village green next to my house. It wasn't so much all the roads being blocked with trees (uprooted or twisted off 2m or 3m up their trunks by the violent and insistent force of the wind) that prevented my guests gong home but the fact that both their cars were written off. The tree that flattened one of them landed within less than 1m of the dining room - I had sensed something but the noise of the wind drowned out (!) that of the rain and thunder. An unforgettable evening!

I love how those lamps are dancing with the music like they are enjoying the rain and divine music.
That right there is the sound of thousands of years of civilisation! Mesmerising as I listen to this masterpiece and light showers of rain rejuvenating the soil in this magical city of Jaipur. I am certain that the apsaras in Indra's court would have been dancing when this raga was played by Panditji in the majestic Rajbari.
Saw a raag malhara performance in Bandish Bandits yesterday and it started raining in Delhi. Since then I've been on Raag malhara trip. I'm loving the continuous rain. 😁😁
The first re pa ga MA re sa after the thunderstorm was enough to start the journey of goosebumps.... This man can throw anybody away with his dexterity and poise.... And absolute cream of a theka by soumen nandyji... Thanks darbar for restoring the faith in Indian classical music though such videos
Well, it WAS already storming when they began, so we can't claim the raga brought the rain. But there WERE times when it seems to be a jugalbandi... Great job, all involved. The definitive Miyan Ki Malhar video for certain.
@David Kempton : Dear David...its just a casual reference. Legend / Myth has it that Miyan Tansen brought down stormclouds and rain when he sang Miyan-ki-Mallhar. Of course, it is part of India's 5000 years old heritage. No one takes it literally.
Otherwise, we would not be suffering drought year after year.
We imbue reality with magical meanings , sometimes.
Makes life interesting. Though not rational.
However please notice Panditji's gaze at the end of his rendition...at 15:43. It is an inward gaze. Rationality falters here. I get goosebumps at that look, and feel that I am in the presence of something larger.
Peace
Banshi shune ki, ghore thaka jay.....
A song on this raaga. Raagas are hidden everywhere

Greeting from Argentina!
The video cudn't have been titled better! This is divinity captured forever! Blessed are those who were present to see this, hear this, feel this. Thanks for sharing a gem like this which happens only with heavenly intervention!
It's like sitar is provoking thunderstorm to be more louder... Really enjoyed this concept. Thanks to Darbar.
Beautiful camera work, beautiful sound design, beautiful music. Just beautiful.
Very 1st minutes took my heart away towards all those memories that i left behind!! Mashallah...
Better than any other sitarist in the Imdadkhan gharana Budhaditya captures the magic of Ustad Vilayat Khan at the height of his creative powers in the 1960's 70's.
what a mood setter ... everyone should listen to this at least once in this monsoon. Indian classical is a beautiful world. thank-you so much to both the amazing musicians. Pranaam
The music of man and the music of nature blend incredibly well.
This feels so divine. Wonderful! Treat to the ears.
And I forgot that it isn't actually raining outside.

Mantro mugdho.Budhaditya tumi amader Garbo.May God bless you.
I dunno how but this brought a smile to my face, wah pandit ji.
When I was a child I heard him at IIT kanpur auditorium many many years ago.... I was mesmerized then and I am in same awe several decades later...he literally defines moments that are beyond explanation..feeling liberated..zoned out
absolutely mesmerized. The description of the entire event is a whole level apart and Pandit Ji 🙏what better than witnessing such soul enriching experiences and capturing so as to enable us few to witness it too ... Thank you for this Darbar 😊
oshadharon..the flickering lights..the beats of tabla and the melodious sitar.. this was heavenly

It's a monsoon evening, and to hear Malhar by this sitar maestro accompanied as it were by Thunder striking its own chords is truly a treat.

sound of thunder made this video more beautiful...
Shabash! All I can add is that the incredible power unleashed here makes me believe the story of Tan Sen's sitar bursting into flame!
Amazing sitar but the control and perfection of the tabla player is impeccable
omg I wish I was there! First time seeing a concert in a thunderstorm!
I'm feeling monsoon in summer💐
Hat's of to Pandit ji, Tabalji, and of course darbar

This probably the best video of sitar i have seen so far ,thank you darbar festival , absolutely amazing 💜
Thank You so much for sharing this wonderful performance of music and video with thunder and both great artists.
Epic. The stuff of dreams. Can't get over this amazing video.
This channel is dripping with perfection and creativity. Their intro shots, the setup, the background, everything is as divine as it can be. This performance is a benchmark of classical presentation that many others must follow if classical music is to be preserved. Such innovative and creative techniques that establish the connection of raag with its true environment is pure brilliance. You must notice that I am rambling it is because the thrall of this performance has left me speechless. Hats off to everyone involved in this project especially in this video. A zillion thanks would not be sufficient to praise this legend! God bless each and everyone of you with eternal happiness for providing countless serenity, calm and true aesthete in our lives.
