Raga: Jhinjhoti (Gat in Drut Teental)

\"Raga: Jhinjhoti (Gat in Drut Teental)\" is a track from the album Soulful Duet Vol.1: Bliss, released on July 15, 2015, under the Aimrec label. The composition spans 23 minutes and 26 seconds and appears as the third track on the CD-format release.

The performance features sitarist Ustad Hidayat Khan, tabla player Indradeep Ghosh, and tanpura artist Enayet Hossain. The piece explores Raga Jhinjhoti, a raga traditionally associated with late evening performances in the Hindustani classical tradition. The composition adopts the gat form in drut teental, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle played at a fast tempo.

The album Soulful Duet Vol.1: Bliss presents collaborative works between instrumentalists in the Indian classical genre. The recording captures live studio interplay, emphasizing improvisational dialogue between the sitar and tabla. Specific production details, recording location, and additional session musicians remain undocumented in available sources.

The track exemplifies the khayal-influenced instrumental style, with Hidayat Khan executing alaap, jor, and jhala sections before transitioning into the composed gat. Ghosh’s accompaniment employs traditional bols (syllabic patterns) of the Benares gharana, while Hossain’s tanpura provides a continuous harmonic drone. The album received distribution in physical CD format, with no confirmed digital reissues or alternate editions as of the last documented update.
