The fragile and ornate piece of melodic filigree called Thumri is one of the most delicate forms of music which needs to be handled with extreme care. Thumri, a relatively recent genre, seems to have gone one better and borders too precariously on the erotic. Its emergence as a popular style about 150 years ago, took music lovers by strom. Yet it had to struggle hard to establish its identity. Even today some puritans refuse to accept Thumri as a styllised form of Hindustani Music. They would rather classify it under the "Light" category.
