Characteristics

A khyal bases itself on a repertoire of short songs( from two to eight lines): a Khyal Song is called bandish. Every singer generally presents bandish in different languages. These compositions cover diverse topics such as romantic or divine love; praise of kings or gods, the seasons, the pranks of Krishna and they can have symbolism or imagery. 

The bandish is divided into two parts — the sthayi (or asthayi) and the antara, with the former considered more important as it shows the melodic mapping of the raga. The sthayi uses notes from the lower octave and the lower half of the middle octave, while the antara ascends to the tonic of the upper octave and beyond before descending and linking back to the sthayi.

As songs are short and the performances are long, the lyrics lose some of their importance and abstract music are elongated. Improvization is added in no of way. It is essentially mixed with some mystical genre of khyal.

Instruments Used  

Instruments Used in Khyals are Harmonium, Bow String Instrument, Violin, Sarangi, Tablas, Drones in background.
