A devotional बंदिश, a Meera Bhajan, composed by Meera Bai, a 16th century, famous, devotee of Lord Krishna. Another ♫दरबारी कानडा feast.
Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.

The video you see is an illustration of how to dance to the song, by the famous Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan. It is sung to a new bride — बन्नो — as she prepares herself for the wedding.
The original picturization of the song on Karishma Kapoor, however, has a somewhat different melodrama woven into the song.
