Khayal

Khayal, a classical vocal genre deeply rooted in North Indian music, is renowned for its elaborate and expressive nature. Characterized by a nuanced delivery of ragas—melodic frameworks—and intricate improvisation, khayal performers explore a wide emotional and tonal spectrum. Derived from Arabic meaning "imagination," khayal allows the artist to combine poetic lyricism with an adept command of rhythm and melody, crafting a highly personalized interpretation. The genre consists of a slow-tempo opening section (vilambit) and a faster conclusion (drut), providing space for both meditative and virtuosic expression. Celebrated artists like Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Kishori Amonkar have elevated khayal with their compelling renditions, captivating audiences through the depth and complexity of this dynamic art form.
