Punjabi Dhun

Punjabi Dhun is a classical instrumental track by sitar maestro Vilayat Khan. The piece appears as the third track on the album Royal Touch on Sitar. Saregama released the album in 1990. The format of the release is a compact disc (CD).

Vilayat Khan performs Punjabi Dhun in the Hindustani classical tradition. The composition draws from the folk melodies of Punjab. The track showcases Khan’s signature gayaki ang style, which emulates vocal techniques on the sitar. The performance includes alap, jor, and jhala sections, characteristic of a dhun rendition. The piece maintains a medium tempo with rhythmic improvisations.

The album Royal Touch on Sitar features Vilayat Khan as the sole artist. The release does not credit additional musicians or vocalists. Saregama, formerly known as HMV, distributed the album. The exact recording date and location remain unconfirmed in available sources.
