This issue comes from the University of Washington Ethnomusicology Archives. Z.M. Dagar was a visiting professor there. It is somewhat unfortunate that the ragas do not show more variety than what is available in more extensive renditions elsewhere. However, this is supposed to be the first in a series, and is a welcome issue nonetheless.

Performances are alap alone.
