Raag Jhinjhoti, Pt. 1

\"Raag Jhinjhoti, Pt. 1\" is a live recording of a Hindustani classical performance featured as the sixth track on the album Concert for Harmony & Peace (Live from Kala Festival 2023). The composition spans 10 minutes and 2 seconds and showcases the raag Jhinjhoti, a melodic framework traditionally associated with late evening or early night performances in the Hindustani tradition.

The track features sitarist Lovely Sharma and tabla player Durjay Bhaumik as primary artists. Sharma performs the sitar, while Bhaumik provides rhythmic accompaniment on the tabla. The recording captures a live rendition from the Kala Festival held in 2023, though the album itself released posthumously on August 1, 2025 under the label KalaSudha Ltd.

The album Concert for Harmony & Peace compiles selections from the festival, emphasizing collaborative performances across classical and fusion styles. The inclusion of Raag Jhinjhoti aligns with the festival’s thematic focus on cultural exchange and the preservation of classical forms. Specific details about the alaap, jor, or jhala sections within this recording remain undocumented in available sources. The track’s structure follows conventional Hindustani classical improvisation, though no published liner notes confirm deviations or unique interpretations by the artists.
