Raag Lalit

Raag Lalit is an Indian classical music recording by Anoushka Shankar. The artist released the performance in 2021. The work appears as a single-track digital audio file. The duration of the recording is 1 minute and 37 seconds.

Anoushka Shankar performs Raag Lalit on the sitar. The composition follows the traditional structure of the Lalit raga, which belongs to the Marwa thaat in Hindustani classical music. Lalit is an early morning raga, typically performed between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM. The raga employs a distinct set of notes, including the komal (flat) Re and Dha, and avoids the use of Pa (the fifth note) in its ascent. The recording captures the alap, jor, and jhala sections, which are characteristic of a sitar performance in Hindustani classical music.

The label or platform for the release is not specified in the available context. The track does not include accompanying instruments or vocalists. The performance adheres to the conventions of a solo instrumental recital in the Hindustani classical tradition.
