Raga Hansdhwani: Jai Maate

Ustad Amir Khan performed Raga Hansdhwani: Jai Maate as the third track on the compilation album The Great Heritage: Ustad Amir Khan. Saregama released the album on CD in 2010. The recording spans 19 minutes and 59 seconds.

The track exemplifies Khan’s interpretation of Raga Hansdhwani, a raga associated with the late evening or early night in the Hindustani classical tradition. The composition Jai Maate reflects his signature Indore gharana style, characterized by slow, meditative alap development and intricate taan patterns. The album compiles archival and studio recordings to showcase Khan’s vocal technique and improvisational depth.

Khan (1912–1974) remains a central figure in 20th-century Hindustani classical music. His renditions often emphasized emotional restraint and precise intonation. The 2010 release by Saregama forms part of a series revisiting legacy artists from the label’s catalog.
