Ustad Inayat Hussain Khan (1849-1919)

Genealogy
It was after Inayat Khansaheb settled in Rampur that this gharana emerged into its own. The gharana came into prominence and grew in fame at the court of the Rampur maharaja, where Inayat Khan started performing as a musician. Rampur, being highly influenced by the dhrupad tradition, was again in many ways the reason for the 'dhrupad' influence in Inayat Khan"s style.
