Raga Puria Kalyan

Sabri Khan performed Raga Puria Kalyan as the third track on the 1992 album Immortal Series: Sarangi Maestro. The label T-Series released the recording on CD format. The composition spans 14 minutes and 58 seconds and showcases Khan’s mastery of the sarangi, a bowed string instrument central to Hindustani classical music.

The album belongs to the Immortal Series, a collection curated by T-Series to feature legendary Indian classical artists. Khan’s interpretation of Raga Puria Kalyan adheres to the raga’s traditional structure, characterized by its shuddha dhaivat (natural sixth) and komal nishad (flattened seventh) in descent. The performance emphasizes alaap, jor, and jhala sections, followed by a rhythmic exposition in teen tal (16-beat cycle).

Sabri Khan (1927–2015) emerged as a prominent exponent of the Indore gharana of sarangi players. His contributions to Hindustani classical music included collaborations with vocalists and instrumentalists, as well as solo recordings. Immortal Series: Sarangi Maestro remains a documented example of his work during the early 1990s, though specific session details, accompanying artists, or recording locations are not publicly verified.

The track and album are commercially available under T-Series’ classical music catalog. No alternate versions or live renditions of this particular recording are confirmed in official releases.
