Khambaj

Khambaj is a track recorded by sitarist Ustad Enayat Khan and released posthumously as part of the compilation album Prof. Enayet Khan & Ustad Alauddin Khan. The album appeared on September 30, 2020 under the Megaphone label in digital media format.

The track occupies the fourth position in the album sequence and runs for 3 minutes and 5 seconds. It features a rendition in Raga Khambaj, a prominent raga in the Hindustani classical tradition characterized by its shringara (romantic) and karuna (pathos) rasas. Enayat Khan performs on the sitar, though the album credits do not specify accompanying artists for this particular track. The recording date and original session details remain undocumented in available sources.

The compilation album pairs Enayat Khan with his father and guru, Ustad Alauddin Khan, though their contributions appear as separate tracks rather than collaborative performances. The release serves as an archival presentation of recordings by both artists, curated for digital distribution. No additional production personnel or liner notes are attributed to the 2020 edition.

Enayat Khan (1935–1980) belonged to the Maihar-Senia gharana and was known for his technical precision and adherence to the gayaki ang (vocal-style) approach on the sitar. His recordings from the 1960s and 1970s remain foundational in the Hindustani instrumental canon, though this specific track’s provenance within his discography is not detailed in the album metadata.
