9m 34s
Kaushiki Chakraborty’s concerts offer a dense concoction of pure notes, intricate embellishments and masterful techniques. However, this one stands out with the added supremacy of the Patiala stylisation. Accompanied by Satyajit Talwalkar (tabla) and Ajay Joglekar (harmonium), this is one not to be missed.

Raag Puriya Kalyan combines elements of the late-night raga Puriya in the lower tetra chord with the joyous elements of Kalyan in the upper tetra chord. The glory of Puriya Kalyan’s manifestation lies in the judicious allotment of weightage assigned to both Puriya and Kalyan during its implementation. Puriya is mildly haunting while Kalyan brings contrasting shades of resplendence.
This composition is set to a 16-beat cycle of Teental. Chakraborty handles the melodic elaborations with sargams in indulgent movements. She embellishes the vowels with demanding gamaks and complex trills plunging deep into the lowest octave with as much ease as she touches the highest octave. The swaggering gait of the faster composition emerges fully with a witty handling of the laya by Chakraborty and Talwalkar
