Kamala Jharia

aseer-e-gham ka bhala phir kahan Thikana tha — today we bring you this lively ghazal from the under-appreciated Kamala Jharia. Beyond the two ghazals included in various HMV compilations (na tum mere na dil mera and maston ke jo usool hain), no recordings of this delightful singer seem to be available. We hope to bring you more. If you have information on or recorded music of Kamala Jharia that you want to share with music lovers, please send it to us and we will put it here.

    Hi,

    I am desperately looking for a Bhajan of Kamala Jharia,
    “Ghunghut-ka-paat khol…”. When I was very little I listened to this
    bhajan over radio few times (from one of the Indian radio station). This superb, melodious bhajan was used by Deepa Mehta in her movie “Water” but only first one line. I will be highly delighted and appreciate it very much if you help me how I can listen this Bhajan again or direct me to the website where I may be able to listen to this imortal bhajan of Kamala Jharia.

    Thanks,

    Maya (Canada)

    I have been looking for these rare songs for some time. Unfortunately, the .RAM files are not playing on my machine. Can somebody tell me which software will help me with the same?

    Truly your dedication and great insights into this genre of Classical Indian Music is a great pleasure to listen and read. The listening experience it generates fills a spritual gap impossible to receive elsewhere. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks

    Dear Mayaji. As far as I REMEMBER ghoonghat ka pat khol re tohe piya milenge was sung by the GREAT JUTHIKA ROY and not KAMALA JHARIA. Her bhajans and Geets are available on HMV cassettes and cd’s.
    Shobhit.

    मेरे पास कमला झारिया जी और सुरेन्द्र ( शायद) का गाया एक बहुत ही सुन्दर गाना “सुहाना समा है” है, अगर किसी को रुचि हो तो मेल करें।

    और हाँ ज्यूथिका रॉय का गया मीरा का भजन ” बादल देख डरी ” जिसके संगीतकार कमल दासगुप्ता हैं वह भी किसी को चाहिये तो मेल करें साइज बहुत कम है मात्र 254 Kb.
    यह उन गानों में से एक है जिन्हें मैं बहुत पसन्द करता हूँ।

    i have asked all over about who was the author of “aseer e gham ka bhalaa…….”.no success. can anyone help?
    subject to correction, mirza dabir is credited with the couplet
    “chhootey aseer to badla hua zamana thaa
    na phool thhe na chaman thha na aashiyaana thha”

    My mother enjoys music by Juthika Roy, but I can’t find any one who supplies or sells her music. I was in Mumbai looking. I am currently in UK and there’s no hope of finding anything where I am. So for when I am next in India, please tell me where I can buy Juthika’s cassettes or if not then CD’s. Thanks

    I am thankful to both Dr. Pradhan and A.R. Jalalzai for correcting me. You were right,
    “Ghunghat Ka Pat” was sung by Great Juthika Roy, not by Kamala Jharia as I thought.
    I also found the website of Juthika containing this great imortal Bhajan…thanks again.
