	As exponent of Misrabani, Ragini has worked towards understanding and practice of technique and style involving a new form of ''Gatkari'' (rhythmic stroke patterns) in ''Vilambit Jhoomara Tal'', ''Vilambit Jhap Tal'' and ''Madhya-laya Ada Char Tal''. In this new style, Dr. Misra had introduced ''Mizrab Bol'' '''DA RDA -R DA'''. Especially, in ''Vilambit'' pace, the oblique rhythm patterns – ''Da Rda -R Da''— manifest a new dimension of Raga. Enabled by three decades of practice, Ragini creates and plays complex Misrabani compositions on all three instruments in ''Audav'', ''Shadav'' and ''Sampoorna'' Raga-s. Ragini has designed and conducted various workshops on teaching this style at Jaipur, Pune and Bhopal.
