Raag Jhinjhoti, Pt. 2

Raag Jhinjhoti, Pt. 2 is a live recording of a Hindustani classical performance featured as the seventh track on the album Concert for Harmony & Peace (Live from Kala Festival 2023). The piece runs for three minutes and fifty-four seconds. Vocalist Lovely Sharma and instrumentalist Durjay Bhaumik rendered the composition in the traditional Raag Jhinjhoti, a melodic framework associated with late evening performances in the Hindustani tradition.

The album Concert for Harmony & Peace documents a live session from the Kala Festival 2023, an annual cultural event promoting classical arts. KalaSudha Ltd produced and released the recording on August 1, 2025, two years after the original performance. The label specializes in archival and contemporary presentations of Indian classical music, though specific production details for this track remain undocumented beyond the credited artists and event context.

The tracklist sequence positions Raag Jhinjhoti, Pt. 2 as a continuation of an earlier segment, suggesting a multi-movement exploration of the raga. No additional metadata confirms whether the performance adhered to a fixed gayaki (vocal) or tantrakari (instrumental) style, nor are there published notes on the accompanying instruments or tala (rhythmic cycle) employed. The recording captures the improvisational and structural elements typical of live classical renditions, with Sharma and Bhaumik interpreting the raga within the constraints of a concise duration.

Critical reception or commercial performance data for the album or track is not publicly available as of the release date. The Kala Festival 2023 program featured collaborations between emerging and established artists in Indian classical music, though the full lineup and thematic focus of the event are not fully archived in accessible sources. The track serves as a representative sample of contemporary live recordings in the genre, emphasizing the adaptive and collaborative nature of Hindustani classical performance.
