Title: Sanhita Nandi
Passage: Sanhita Nandi is a prominent Hindustani classical vocalist of the Kirana Gharana.  The central motif of her style is slow tempo "raga" development (voice culture, voice throw, and tonal application) and ornamented "sargams". Sanhita Nandi has rightly established herself as a leading exponent of Khayal, earning high acclaim from discerning critics and enthusiastic audiences on an international scale.  Sanhita has developed a distinctive singing style based on firm grounding of traditional training (or taleem), combining pure lyricism with impeccable technique.To further enrich her repository of Kirana Lineage and traditional compositions, Sanhita continues to get trained under the able guidance of Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan. The heart of her music is the slow, leisurely development of Raag Bhava in Merukhand style in Ati vilambit.  The vistar is richly embellished by meend, harkat, and sargams.  As the badhat gets slowly ornamented in the choicest pearls of melodic variations that build the sculpture of the raga, it slowly gets decorated into faster tempo where it befriends sargams, chota khayal, tarana and soft silky sapat taans . Extreme care is taken not to disrupt the Raag Bhava even in faster tempo . Even the phirat adds to the wet, warmth of feelings embedded in the raga.
