Alap and Jor in Raga Malkauns:- Among the more profound ragas of Hindustani music, Malkauns holds a place of its own.

The piece opens with an aochar on sitar in the evening raga 'jait'. The sitar then introduces the rhythmic cycle i this raga providing a melodic reference to the performance on the tabla.
