Darbari Kanhada is a serious and grave raga. Usually this raga used to be sung in the Darbars of emperor Akbar and which is thought to have originated in Carnatic music and brought into Hindustani classical music by Miyan Tansen, the legendary 16th-century composer in emperor Akbar's court. Pandit Jasraj belongs to the Mewati gharana of Hindustani classical music, has rendered this raga uniquely in its purest forms. Jasraj's vocal range extends three-and-a-half octaves and uses precise diction, a trademark of the Mewati gharana's style of khayal. He has also done extensive research in Haveli Sangeet under Baba Shyam Manohar Goswami Maharaj to create numerous innovative bandish (composition).
