Among the singers of devotional songs, one name that comes to my mind is Lakshmi Shankar. It was almost a daily ritual for me to listen to one of her devotional (bhajan) songs almost every day in the morning on All India Radio, Bombay (Mumbai). At that time, I had no inkling that she was a classical dancer and later a renowned classical vocalist of Patiala Gharana. I was not even aware that she belonged to the illustrious Shankar family.

There are already two songs from Chhalia (1973) here. Therefore, I am glad to add another one to make it a trio. The music director is R D Burman. As with many of his good scores, this one is also for a film, which flopped badly and sank without a trace, till the Pancham renaissance in the last few years resurrected its songs.
