KAJRI - Barsan Laagi - Girija Devi and Ravi Kichlu This song has a beautiful story behind it....

Kajri: According to a folk tale of Mirzapur, there was woman called Kajli whose husband was in a distant land. Monsoon arrived and separation became unbearable. She began to cry at the feet of the Kajmal Goddess and these cries took the form of the popular Kajri songs. Come monsoon... and it brings relief from the sizzling hot summer. Come the black clouds... and separation from the beloved become unbearable. Each bolt of lightning hits straight at the heart and makes it beat faster.
