|| KHatka ॥
The simple meaning of 'Khatka' is fear, fear, doubt etc.
Khatka comes under the ancient word 'Sphurit'. In this, when four or more Swars
are rounded and used in a fast rhythm, then it is called 'Khatka'. In the
process of Khatka, the next and first Swar from the root note is sung and
played in a fast manner, then the root Swar is sung and played, like Khatka is
to be given on the Swar 'P'. First
from 'P' the next Swar 'Dha' will be played and then 'Pa' will be played. After this, the
first Swar from 'Pa' will be played
as 'M' and again 'Pa' will be played. To hit the Swar 'Pa', the Swars 'Dha Pa Ma Pa' are sung and played quickly in such a way that it
sounds sweet and pleasant. To write Khatka in Swarlipi system, the vowel is
written in brackets like (Pa) i.e. 'Dha Pa Ma Pa' Khatka is used in
Thumri, Dadra Tappa and is also used in instrumental music.
