About Khayal
The most prevalent form of Hindusthani classical vocal music today, Khayal is celebrated for its improvisatory freedom, lyrical expressiveness, and scope for elaborate melodic development. It consists of two compositions — a slow vilambit and a fast drut — with extensive scope for taans, gamaks, and sargam improvisation. Khayal is the primary vehicle of all major gharanas including Jaipur-Atrauli, Agra, Kirana, and Gwalior, each imparting its own distinct aesthetic character, ornamental style, and approach to raga interpretation.
