Raaga: Mishra Khamaj
About the raaga: This is a mishra raga. Mostly, the artist takes creative liberty to play around with the notes, according to the mood and therefore there are no set rules for it. However, the artist must keep in mind the main raga around which the additional notes and the way they are rendered have to revolve around.

Song: Mali Mala Shyamaku Debi
Description: This song has been written from Radha's point of view. Radha tells her friend how she plans to appease Krishna in various ways- making him a jasmine flower garland (mali mala); in the summers she'd put scented sandalwood paste (basa chandana) on Lord Krishna's body, so on and so forth.

Poet: Kabi Samrat Upendra Bhanja
Taala: Jati tala (14 maatra)

Vocalist: Guru Nimakanta Routray
