Murki

Murki is a short taan or inverted mordent in Hindustani classical music, known as pratyahatam in Carnatic music.[1] It is a fast and delicate ornamentation or alankar, employing two or more notes and is similar to a mordent or ulta murki.[2][3] It is often delivered in rapidfire tempo, and is employed in thumris and other lighter genres.[4] Other taans used in thumri gayaki include the khatka and the zamzama.

This is also sometimes called Harkat or Jaga.
