With his orchestra assembled in Los Angeles, Shankar recorded a double album, titled Ravi Shankar's Festival from India.
Following the opening "Vedic Hymn" (sung by Abhisheki), its content included Shankar's orchestral adaptations of ragas such as Kirwani, Malkauns and Vasanta; thumri and bhajan vocal pieces; and dhun and other traditional folk tunes [REF].
