My understanding is that Ghatsala never sang
any Hindi song. Suvarna Sundari entry
in Geet Kosh lists a song by Ghantsala.
Apparently no record was issued and song
may have been only in the movie.
I have not seen the movie. Can someone shed
some light on this issue.

Well, I myself haven't heard any Ghantasala song in Hindi *film*. I
don't own "giitkosh", but my *guess* is that you are refering to his
traditional (devotional) verse (in Sanskrit), a popular one in South I
may add, which goes like: "lakshmiim kshiirasamudraraaja tanayaam
SriirangadhaameSwarii". Probably the producer: P. Adinarayanarao, left
the original that way seeing no need to record it.

Similar example can be found in "Jaisingh" (1958, dubbed version of
Telugu: Jayasimha-1955, starring: NTR, Anjali and Waheeda Rehman. Music
by T.V. Raaju). I remember reading Ramesh Naidu, the music director for
the Hindi version, that he left Ghantasala's original Telugu rendition
of "jaya jaya Sriiraamaa! raghuvaraa! Subhakara ..." as it is.
There are a couple of more such instances. All dubbed films, like
"bhookailaas", "lavakuSa", "baalaajii" (a.k.a Srii venkaTeSwara
maahaatmyam).
BTW, Ghantasala did sing a couple of Hindi songs. For e.g. "saare jahaan
se acchaa".
On a side note, his rendition of "vaishNava janato" is (IMO) very good.

Is it possible to find this online? I am curious to hear Ghantasala's Hindi diction.

After a brief intro in Telugu, the song starts around 1:10
Enjoy.
