content: Edited film: Bhimsen is a celebrated classical singer who lives in Poona, the capital of Maharashtra, in Western India. A complete performance of the raga Miya Ki Malhai, associated with the season of the rains, is given. The singer performs each of the main elements, an introductory statement with accompaniment, a slow movement of religious character, a fast movement with many religious improvisations.  The intimate musical relationship between the singer and the table player (drummer) develops as the performance grows in complexity and excitement.
