Pandit Jasraj, a doyen of Hindustani classical music, will be remembered for bringing the genre beyond the rarefied realms of a select community by imbuing khayal with an unmistakable dimension of bhakti rasa. After Monday’s heart arrest, he died in the U.S. He was ninety years old. Mewati Gharana ‘s foremost representative moved away from Dhrupad and brought to Khayal an element of devotional singing, using harkat and turkish which were associated with classical light music. This news can be important for prelims.
