Rani Karnaas Sitar Jugalbandi performed by her senior disciple Sohini Debnath

A jugalbandi or a friendly rivalry between the stringed instrument, the sitar and percussion is mirrored through a jugalbandi among the dancers themselves. This composition incorporates the Baj Ang of the stringed instruments Gat and Jhala and also the unique pure dance elements of Kathak in an innovative manner. There are no supporting lyrics: thus the ideas are rendered through variety of imageries representing nature s beauty. Set to Raga: Chandrakaus in taal in Teentaal, Sitar Jugalbandi is composed by Dr S. K. Saxena.
