But the relationship between Darbari and Carnatic music, is at best tenuous. The Raga is supposed to have originated in the court of Emperor Akbar, when Tansen fused influences of various ragas to create this slow and grave Raga for court performances \u2013 hence the name Darbari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The popularity of Raga Darbari endures till date. \u00a0It is one of the most revered and widely performed ragas in Hindustani Classical Music <em>concerts<\/em>. Amongst the most brilliant renditions of Darbari is by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iuqNPPaRYQU\"><strong>Ustad Amir Khan<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; the tarana at the end of this rendition is mind blowing in its intensity. A tarana is usually performed at the end of a composition and tends to use syllables instead of words. &#8211; deem tanana deem, for example. \u00a0The Tarana is attributed to the legendary composer Amir Khusrau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuqNPPaRYQU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Darbari Kanada in Hindi Films<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two major films of the 1960\u2019s based around the court of Emperor Akbar \u2013 Sangeet Samrat Tansen and Moghul-e-Azam, both featured songs based on Raga Darbari. In the film Moghul-e-Azam, Anarkali bemoans her fate with Lata Mangeshkar crooning Mohobbat ki Jhooti Kahani pe Roye in the raga. And in Sangeet Samrat Tansen, Manna De sings for Tansen \u2013 the beautifully lyrical\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IXv60JQS1A8\"><strong>Mitwa Laut Aaye Re<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IXv60JQS1A8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it isn\u2019t\u2019 just sombre Hindi songs that were composed in Raga Darbari, but romantic songs, and even fun songs. There is the wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cTvUrpSr9ck\"><strong>Pag Ghungroo Bandh Meera<\/strong><\/a>, from Namak Halal, in which both the singer, Kishore Kumar, and the actor Amitabh Bachchan -seem to be enjoying themselves.

One of my favourite instrumental renditions of the Raga is this absolutely soothing rendition on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_3vjk02JPbQ&amp;list=RD_3vjk02JPbQ&amp;start_radio=1\"><strong>flute by Hari Prasad Chaurasia<\/strong><\/a>.
