Song Name: Pranam Tomai Ghanasyam

Official Name: None

Author: Anonymous

Book Name: None

Language: Bengali

Raga: Misra Bhairavi

Tala: Bhajani

Pranam Tomai Ghanasyam is a traditional Bangladeshi bhajan based heavily on meandering forms of Bhairavi. FORM A is in typical Bhairavi (with addition of suddha Re for embellishment). FORM B is also in Bhairavi with a spare touch of suddha Ga and Ni. FORM C has more of a Bhairava/Kalingada feel. FORM D returns to Bhairavi.

Also, when singing, please do note that Verse 2, “ksane” in Bengali pronunciation is pronounced “kho-ney.” Also in FORM C, line 5 matra 5, the (G)r implies a vocal glissando or a “meend”. It’s a slide that starts at Ga and ends at r.
