Some artists present the antara gradually by creating a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;candence &lt;/del&gt;or two in the process while the first phrase of the antara (antara mukhda) provides material for the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;candence&lt;/del&gt;. The mukhda can be performed as an element of rhythm, or it can be blended into the alap-oriented structure of the slow bada khyal. The melody of the mukhda generally undergoes a great deal of change during improvisation. The bandish is usually sung with its sections (sthayi and antara) separated in some way. In the bada khyal, especially at a slow speed, artists usually sing the sthayi only at the beginning, after which the sthayi text (or the vocables or the vowels) are augmented with new melody. Most artists begin singing the antara some point when the high pitch register is reached. Meanwhile, other artists prefer to skip the antara section, thereby reducing the textual density of the bada khyal, and instead sing the sthayi text in an antara-like melody. Some artists sing both the sthayi and the antara are the beginning of the bada khyal, this is particularly common in medium speed bada khyal performances. They often use some kind of improvisation to separate the sthayi from the antara, or they might use a different arrangement.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Wade|first=Bonnie C.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wiIJAQAAMAAJ|title=Khyal: Creativity Within North India&#039;s Classical Music Tradition|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1984|isbn=9780521256599|location=|pages=32}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first phrase ({{IAST|mukhda}}) of the sthayi is the most important component of the bandish because it provides material for most &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;cadences &lt;/ins&gt;in the performance.

Some artists begin their performance by singing to a small number of vocables, such as &amp;#039;de&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;ne&amp;#039;, or &amp;#039;na&amp;#039;, or to vowels (usually &amp;#039;a&amp;#039;), or to the words of the bandish text. For some, this section acts as a kind of vocal warm-up, taking up only a few seconds. Others use it in order to set the mood, singing for a minute or two, with the effect of beginning a ragalap, or singing a kind of &amp;#039;mini-ragalap&amp;#039;, or possibly foreshadowing the bandish that comes next. Meanwhile, some singers make it a major structural portion of their bada khyal and surround it ragalap before and rupakalapti after.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Wade|first=Bonnie C.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wiIJAQAAMAAJ|title=Khyal: Creativity Within North India&amp;#039;s Classical Music Tradition|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1984|isbn=9780521256599|location=|pages=31}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
