Raga Jhinjhoti (for Dinkar Kaikini) | Guru Smaran | Kahe Karat Kanhai Chaturai

AARSHIN KARANDE, senior disciple of Mewati Gharana luminary SANDEEP RANADE "NAADRANG," offers a rendition of Rāga Jhinjhoti on the occasion of Pandit Dinkar Kaikini's birthday (October 2nd). This bandish was created by Dinkarrao. Rāga Jhinjhoti, named after the goddess's trestle of hair, is an ancient rāga. This rāga has a tender, lovey-dovey, gentle vibe that lends itself well to compositions with texts set to devotion, adoration, and surrender. Aarshin has admired Dinkarrao's music since his late teens. This rāga and bandish are presented humbly as an offering to the extraordinary music of Pandit Dinkar Kaikini-ji. LYRICS & TRANSLATION: काहे करत कन्हाई चतुराई । कुंवरी संग प्रीत किए चोरी चोरी मैं बावरी समझ अनारी ।१। निरदयी श्याम तोको लाज न आयी । डस जाए प्रेम बिस मृदु मन मेरो । अब जाओ जाओ जहां प्रीत लगाई ।२। The speaker is incredulous at the shameless naughty antics and incessant mischief of Krishna whose peculiar love knows no bounds.
