The Guava Tree

This is a love story between Ustaad Bandeh Ali Khan and Chunna Bai who were united by music. On one unfortunate day, Chunna Bai passed away due to some illness. With Chunna Bai gone, even Ustaad Bandeh Ali Khan and his music were nowhere to be found. Both found each other through music and stayed together in a world of music. 

After singing the “Deepak Raag”, Tansen developed blisters all over his body. To heal from them he ventured out to Vrindavan in search of Guru Maharaj. After returning, Lord Banke Bihari was consistently in his thoughts and he began to dedicate all his songs to the Lord. Eventually, he started portraying his thoughts in his songs. This attention to thought played a pivotal role in the origination of “Khyal Sangeet” 

While writing his play, “Geet Govind” for Lord Krishna, poet Jaydev experienced a mental block after one point. To this, Lord Krishna himself came to the rescue and helped him complete his poetic composition. Thereafter, wherever Jaydev would go, he would sing this Geet. His songs about the saviour, Krishna would transcend the listeners to Vrindavan no matter where they were. This form of music came to be known as “Prabhand Sangeet”.
