Naina Devi - Thumri - The Music Of Love (Re-Up)
Trained under Girja Shankar Chakravarty, Mushtaq Husain Khan and Rasoolan Bai, Naina Devi adopted and fostered the art of thumri singing at a time when few women from “respectable” families dared take up this art form. Thumri, one of the three major forms of Hindustani classical music, gives equal importance to musical structure and poetic text, vocal techniques and emotive content. It was traditionally performed by courtesan singers for the entertainment of elite patrons. Naina Devi, considered among the most significant names in Hindustani classical music, was also known for her contribution to institution-building, systematising the teaching and learning of the arts in independent India, and her patronage of other artists. Hers was an extraordinary life. Few people live in so many different spaces, overcoming so many obstacles, without bitterness or arrogance. Her story of how she met her first guru, Girja Shankar Chakravarty, during one of the all-night mehfils (soiree) regularly organised by her elder brother Sunit at home moved me greatly. Women were not allowed to be present, but an exception was made for the five-year-old. As Girja babu wound up at dawn with a Bhairavi thumri, he teasingly asked the wide-awake Nilina what she had liked the most. She replied, “Your Bhairavi.” He asked her to sing it and she did.

Picture Source: http://www.exoticindiaart.com
Thumri is a song of love, successful or futile. Love has many shades, it goes through acquaintance, attraction, affection, infatuation and passion. Thumries express Shringar Rasa. The presence of the object of love leads to Samyog Shringar. Sometimes even the absence of the object of love may be intoxicating and would create Vipralambha Shringar. Thumri embraces all these feelings. Thumries are romantic because they make one forget the hardships of life.
