Deepti Navaratna sings a Thumri in a Carnatic raga. The composition is "Yaduvamsha Thilakana Veshavidene", by DV Gundappa. MS had also sung this in the same raga.

Re: A Thumri in Khamas!
Like most times , this fusion work too fails on both the HM and CM counts .The singer also sings it with a misguided wikipediac notion of what an Antahpura is .( If one has to go by the uploader notes that has been left untouched for a year!!!) DVG must be chuckling at the thought . He did not foresee cokestudio .
Anyway here is a different thumri . A different mindset . I can imagine Kelucharan Mohapatra dancing to it , with all his characteristic fluid movements

Re: A Thumri in Khamas!
What a story of ‘blackmail’, Varsha. Thanks for sharing it.
I have had the cherished privilege of living close to DVG’s residence in Basavanagudi in my younger days. It was a regular sight for us to see the great man sitting on the granite bench in front of his residence using his walking stick to telling effect while in conversation with friends and admirers. As kids we believed that he had a son of name ‘Mankuthimma’ as we had been told he was the father of him ( actually, ‘it’, the magnum opus, Mankuthimmana Kagga).
DVG Road now is quite different from the old Nagasandra Road it was in his time. Where DVG’s residence was, there is at present a conglomeration of shops.
