Raga Kalavati

Raga Kalavati is a recording of the Hindustani classical raga Kalavati performed by vocalist Ajoy Chakrabarty. Released in an unspecified year, the track spans a duration of 19 minutes and 50 seconds. The composition adheres to the traditional structure of khayal gayaki, a dominant vocal form in North Indian classical music.

Chakrabarty presents the raga in the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) tempos, adhering to the conventions of the Kalavati raga, which belongs to the Kafi thaat. The performance likely includes an alaap followed by bandish compositions set to rhythmic cycles, though specific lyrical or metrical details remain undocumented. The recording format, accompanying artists, and label information are not publicly verified.

The raga Kalavati is characterized by its use of komal gandhar (flattened third) and komal nishad (flattened seventh) in ascent, with a typical phrase structure that emphasizes these intervals. Chakrabarty’s interpretation aligns with the Patiala gharana style, known for its robust vocal technique and intricate taan patterns. No additional tracks or album context are associated with this standalone release.

As of available records, the performance exists as a singular audio recording without supplementary visual or live documentation. The work contributes to Chakrabarty’s discography, which prominently features renditions of rare and traditional ragas. Further details on the recording session, production personnel, or commercial distribution remain unconfirmed.
