Raga Malavati (Part-1) | Dhun–Ugam Series | Tribute to Pt. Kumar Gandharva (12 Jan 1992)

Today (12/01/2026) is the 34th Death Anniversary of the legendary Pt. Kumar Gandharva. This rendition of Raga Malavati is offered in his remembrance. This is part-1 of the rendition. Pt. Kumar Gandharva’s relationship with the idea of raga went far beyond grammar and convention. His approach to Dhun–Ugam Ragas opened up a deeply personal, intuitive, and exploratory space within Hindustani music — one where folk essence, melodic intuition, and classical thought coexisted freely. Raga Malavati, with its quiet yet luminous character, lends itself naturally to this spirit of exploration. As a personal, long-term musical project, I have decided to present one Dhun–Ugam raga every year on 12th January, as a quiet act of remembrance and reflection — engaging with the idea of raga as a living, breathing entity rather than a fixed structure. Accompanists: 🎹 Harmonium: ‪@HarmoniumSumant‬ 🥁 Tabla: ‪@shantanutabla‬ I hope this offering resonates with listeners who continue to find inspiration in Kumar Gandharva’s fearless musical imagination.
