Learn more about the music:

“Ab kaise ghar jawoon”, (How do I go home now?) follows the theme of a playful, romantic interaction between the Hindu flute-playing deity, Lord Krishna and his consort Radha. Folklore has many descriptions of Radha being teased by Krishna on her way home after drawing water from the river. Most of these descriptions centre around the social fabric of ancient India, where a man’s public display of affection or flirtation would leave a woman ostracised by the society and her family. This thumri narrates the coy requests of Radha to Krishna to stop teasing her in public so that she may return home without any loss of reputation.
