Geeta rendered this marvellous bhajan

Although I’ve written posts about 3,794 songs since I started blogging in 2017, I would like to state that I am approaching Ghunghat Ke Pat Khol as my first, because that was what it was supposed to be.

It wasn’t a Hindi film song, but a bhajan by the 16th-century saint/poetess Meera Bai, renowned for her devotion to Lord Krishna.

The film version of the track – for the want of a better phrase – was from Jogan (1950).

This outstanding Bulo C Rani composition was sung by Geeta Ghosh Roy Chowdhuri (who wasn’t Mrs Dutt then).
