Explanation:

Indian Hindustani Classical Music has various divisions like Khyaal, Thumari, Tappa, Tarana, etc.

 The thumri is based on the romantic-devotional literature inspired by the bhakti movement. The text is usually derived from the Radha-Krishna theme and is of primary importance.

 The? semi-classical music form “thumri” is known to have derived its name from thumakna. Loosely translated the word means, “dance-like movements”.

Thumri was about mild eroticism and dramatic gestures and was the invention of courtesans.

The language is a dialect of Hindi called Brij bhasha.

This style is characterized by a greater flexibility with the raga. It arose in popularity during the 19th century.
