Jhinjhoti

Jhinjhoti is a Hindustani classical music raga.

A famous rendition of this raga is Abdul Karim Khan's Thumri "Piya Bin Nahi Aavat Chain" which Bhimsen Joshi had heard as a child and which inspired him to become a musician. The famous ghazal by Mehdi Hasan Khan " Gulon main rang bhare" was also composed in Raga Jhinjhoti. This Raga has a close resemblance to Raga Bagheshri however both hail from different thaats and listeners are often mistaken.
