Today’s song is an Aarti of Bhagwan Shankar, from the film Vikramaditya-1945. Our friend Avinash Abhang (Scrapwala) ji has given me the song link and the detailed Lyrics of this Aarti. He has taken a lot of effort to meticulously write down the lyrics as it contained 3 voices of singers and chorus. In addition, it also has some difficult words which had to be noted carefully. I thank him profusely as he very kindly sent this to me, knowing that I am a Shiv- Bhakta. May Lord Shiv ji Bless him !

Vikramaditya (1945) is a Hindi historical drama directed by Vijay Bhatt under the Prakash Pictures banner. The film stars legendary actor Prithviraj Kapoor in the title role of King Vikramaditya of Avanti, Prem Adib as the court poet Mahakavi Kalidas, and Ratnamala as Princess Shrilekha, along with other artistes like Ranjana, Zillobai, Bhagwandas and Baburao Pendharkar etc etc. All the 9 songs were written by Ramesh Gupta and the music was by the in-house Music Director of Prakash Pictures- Shankar Rao Vyas. he film was directed by Vijay Bhatt.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Shiv Kanya-1954.

The decade of the 1950 was known for 2 things. As we all know, the first thing was that it was the peak of “The Golden Era” of Hindi film music. Secondly, it was also the peak of Mythological and Religious films (124 films in 10 years). So, there was atleast 1 such new film every month continuously for the next 120 months !

When so many Mythological films are made, naturally many stories are repeated in some way or the other. Usually stories from the 18 Puranas, 18 Up-Puranas and 2 Epics- Ramayana and Mahabharat are used for films. Fed up with the usual stories, some filmmakers tried to find unused new stories from the puranas,while some tried to cook up own stories by using the Mythological names and mixing several stories.
