Bhairavi, issued by Saregama India Ltd in 1991, presents Pandit Ajay Pohankar’s command of traditional Indian music and the ghazal form. The album comprises twelve tracks, including the featured “Jaat Kahan Ho,” which exemplifies Pohankar’s measured vocal phrasing set against restrained accompaniment. Recorded during a period when classical and semi-classical vocalists were navigating new modes of presentation, Bhairavi offers a document of refined technique and devotional expression without overt studio embellishment. Though modest in its contemporary reception—garnering a small but attentive listenership—this 1991 release holds resonance for those tracing the lineage of late 20th-century Indian vocal art. Its preservation by Saregama, a label with deep archival roots, ensures a reliable signal of Pohankar’s interpretive style within the canon of ghazal and traditional music.
