Raga Miyan Ki Malhar: Madhya Gat in Tintal

Raga Miyan Ki Malhar / Raga Dhansri is a studio album by sitarist Nishat Khan, released on CD by India Archive Music in 1996. The recording showcases Khan’s interpretation of two classical ragas in the Hindustani tradition.

The album’s second track, Raga Miyan Ki Malhar: Madhya Gat in Tintal, spans 23 minutes and 33 seconds. Khan performs the raga in the madhya lay (medium tempo) section, adhering to the tintal rhythmic cycle of 16 beats. The composition emphasizes the raga’s association with the monsoon season, a characteristic feature of Miyan Ki Malhar within the Kafi thaat framework. Instrumental accompaniment details remain undocumented in available sources.

The release aligns with Khan’s broader discography as a seventh-generation musician of the Imdadkhani gharana, known for its emphasis on gayaki ang (vocal-style phrasing) in sitar performance. The album’s production credits and additional session artists are not publicly specified. India Archive Music distributed the recording as part of its catalog dedicated to North Indian classical music.
