How Lata Mangeshkar uses that range
Slim, light, and placed high, with very little chest weight anywhere, because a narrow tone is what allows this much speed. The ornaments draw on a classical vocabulary: quick grace notes, tight oscillating turns, and smooth connecting slides that cross between pitches without a seam. Above the staff the vibrato thins out or drops away entirely, leaving a straight tone that sits dead centre in pitch. Weight is traded off on purpose here; adding any would cost the agility outright.
