*The 'Mandra Dhaivat Repose'*
Madan Mohan's admiration for Akhtaribai Faizabadi (Begum Akhtar) was well known.
There are many subtle instances, in the composer's body of work, wherein some melodic infexions of the the gayaki of Malika-e-Ghazal have been used.
One of them is a short melodic phrase that descends and reposes on the dhaivat of the lower register ('mandra saptak').
A short medley to illustrate this point.
(In this case, the composer of Akhtaribai's ghazal is Khayyam Hashmi but that 'Dhaivat-dive' is quintessentially the singer's style.)
Birh centenary tribute to this remarkable tunesmith.
