Nav Durga (1952) was another mythological film starring Usha Kiran and Mahipaal. It’s music was composed by the maestro composer S N Tripathi sahab. This was the same composer who gave Geeta ji her very early songs for the film Aadhaar (1945). He gave her two solos and three duets for this film. This was a rare incidence where Geeta ji and her sister Laxmi Roy ji sang a song together.

The song was played today by Radio Ceylon. The announcer named the co-singer as Lakshmi Shankar. Can you verify and confirm the correct name?
The correct name of the singer is Laxmi Roy, she is Geeta ji’s sister. Once again many thanks for sharing this rarest of the rare song.
