Question

The technical performance terms 'Jhala' and 'Ghasit' are primarily associated with which musical instrument?

A.

Pakhawaj

B.

Ghatam

C.

Sitar

D.

Tanpura

Correct option is C


Correct Option: c)
Hindustani instrumental music ( Vadya Sangeet) employs specialized stroke techniques tailored for plucked stringed instruments like the Sitar and Sarod.
Information Booster:
· Jhala: The fast-paced climax section of an instrumental Raga exposition, played by alternating main melody strokes with rapid rhythm strokes on the drone strings ( Chikari).
· Ghasit: A smooth glide technique produced by sliding the left-hand finger across the fretboard to connect notes seamlessly without re-striking the string.
Additional Knowledge:
· Pakhawaj and Ghatam are percussion instruments and use stroke names like Thap, Dhi, and Na.
· Tanpura is exclusively used as a continuous drone background instrument and does not feature fast solo virtuoso techniques like Jhala or Ghasit.
