Gitkari
A form of Ṥabdālaṁkāra, synonymous with Khaṭkā and akin to Murki.
When a set of notes is swiftly presented with the purpose of adorning or enhancing another note, it is referred to as khatka in instrumental music or gitkari in singing.
In the sequence "RSSR," where the cluster of "RSS" notes embellishes D and is executed rapidly. In instrumental performances, khatka is not only executed through rapid finger movements but also with the aid of a combination of krintan and sparsa. The term khatka is used to describe the musical effect produced when these elements are executed in a single movement of the right hand.
While the primary note is sustained for a longer duration, the remaining notes are sung rapidly, ensuring that each note remains distinct.
