Raga Lalit Vibhas - Khayal Vilambit In Teentaal - Chalori Sakhi Sautan Ghar

\"Raga Lalit Vibhas - Khayal Vilambit In Teentaal - Chalori Sakhi Sautan Ghar\" is a khayal performance by vocalist Kishori Amonkar. The recording features a vilambit (slow-tempo) composition set in Teentaal, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle common in Hindustani classical music. The bandish (lyrical composition) begins with the line Chalori Sakhi Sautan Ghar, a text rooted in the poetic traditions of separation and longing.

Amonkar renders the raga with the characteristic features of Lalit Vibhas, a rare and intricate raga derived from the Bhairav thaat. The performance spans 19 minutes and 36 seconds, showcasing her command of meend (glissando), gamak (ornamentation), and layakari (rhythmic play). The recording captures her improvisational approach to alaap, jor, and jhala before transitioning into the structured khayal composition.

The track appears as part of Amonkar’s discography, though the specific release year, album title, and label remain undocumented in available sources. Her interpretations of Lalit and its variants are noted for their emotional depth and adherence to the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana style, which she adapted with her distinctive vocal techniques. The composition’s lyrical theme aligns with classical Hindi poetry, often exploring the viraha (separation) motif through metaphorical narratives.

No additional details regarding accompanying artists, recording location, or production credits are confirmed. The track stands as an example of Amonkar’s later career work, where she emphasized raga exploration over commercial releases. Her rendition of Lalit Vibhas is less frequently documented than her performances of more mainstream ragas, making this recording a notable entry in her repertoire.
