The term “Jor,” literally meaning “conjunction,” refers to a component within the aalap. It comprises two distinct parts: the first part being non-rhythmic and the second part being rhythmic. The purpose of Jor is to establish a seamless connection between the rhythmic and non-rhythmic sections of the aalap, ensuring a smooth transition between them. Jor is usually followed by the jhala in most instrumental performances.
