Comments – The majority of people attribute this song to Bhairav.  However, there are some who make the argument that it actually belongs to a closely related rag, Kalingada.  The point is entirely academic, because even among the classical musicians, few contemporary musicians make a clear differentiation between Bhairav from Kalingada.
