A Traditional Bandish in Raag Jhinjhoti
Lyrics:
Paiyaa Bin Naheen Aawat Chain
Kaa se Kahoon Jee ke Bain
" I am on pins and needles without My Beloved
To whom I tell the Agony of my Heart"
---------------
Kairan Gharana Tradition
The name of this school of music derives from Kirana or Kairana, a village in Haryana state of central India. It is the birthplace of Ustad Abdul Karim Khan (1872-1937), who was one of the most important musicians of this Gharana and of Hindustani music in general in the twentieth century, and considered by some to be the real founder of the Kirana Gharana. A frequent visitor to the Court of Mysore, Ustad Abdul Karim Khan was influenced by Carnatic music.
Much to the credit of Abdul Karim Khan, today most Hindustani musicians from Karnataka and Maharashtra are exponents of Kirana Gharana and it has imbibed many of the features of the Carnatic tradition. Common traits of Kirana Gharana include systematic elaboration of a Raga, improvisation in the vilambit laya, and slow spacious alaps employing meendkari. The style is renowned for its melody and sweetness.

Raag Jhinjhoti is a very sweet Raag of That Khamaj. Many famous songs are composed in Jhinjhoti, like
Ghungharu Ki Taraha, Bajta hi Raha Hun Main
Koi Hamdam Na Raha, Koi Sahara Na Raha
Mere Maheboob Tujhe Meri Muhabbat Ki Qasam
Mose Chal Kiye Jaye Hai Re Hai Hai Dekho Saiyan Beiman
Teri Ankhon Ke Siva Duniyan Mein
Tum Mujhe Yun Bhula Na Paoge
MEHDI HASSAN's very famous Ghazal "Gulon mein Rang Bahrey " also composed in Raag Jhinjhoti.
