Listen to the song 2 from Lal Chitthi from Girdharilal Vishwakrama collection

Soon after she sings kookatee hai Daalee Dalee, I hear a bird-like sound. She continues koyaliyaa kaalee. I believe it is just somebody whistling. In any case, this is the earliest song to have a bird sound.

Now you know!

I had read her name in the HFGK and felt bad that I did not even know how she looked like. Luckily her children live in Californian and I was able to get a lot of photos and info from them to write a book on her. The book contains more that 80 rare photos, most of them never-before-seen in public or internet.

Apart from the HFGK and books on filmographies, she was never mentioned anywhere else. What I completely forgot was that I had seen her picture in the book, Indian Cinema A Visual Voyage, by Ravi Gupta! A few days ago, I re-discovered it and here it is!

The book is available worldwide. To see the first 15 pages and ordering info, please visit

She identified almost all the people here
