Correct Option-b)
Thumri is a semi-classical genre of Hindustani vocal music, originating from the courts of Lucknow and later flourishing in Varanasi.
Information Booster:
· Thumari singing traditionally ends with Laggi-Ladi.
· Laggi refers to a fast, lively, and intricate rhythmic play on the tabla or pakhavaj, often in double or quadruple tempo.
· Ladi is the close interplay between the singer and the percussionist during this fast-paced section, creating a vibrant, spirited dialogue.
· This concluding segment showcases improvisation, rhythmic virtuosity, and brings the performance to an exciting, climactic end, which is a hallmark of light classical forms like Thumri, especially in the Purab Ang (Eastern style).
Additional Knowledge:
· Raila-Rau is not a standard concluding section in Thumri; it is more associated with folk or regional rhythmic patterns, not the classical/semi-classical finale.
· Bola-Bani refers to the lyrical content and the style of delivery, often related to tappa or the verbal play in singing, but it is not the specific concluding segment of a Thumri.
· Mukhda-Mohra are structural components used in khyal and instrumental music, where Mukhda is the opening refrain, and Mohra is a cadential phrase leading back to the sam, but they are not the definitive ending of a Thumri performance.
