The Concept of Gharanas

The term Gharana in Indian Classical music means a school or a style of music. It implies a family and a Guru- Shishya Parampara wherein the style of rendition of the student was a typical trait of its gharana itself.

Traditionally from the past itself all the maestros of a Gharana have been very possessive of their Gharanas and have always tried to ensure that their Gharana maintains its own distinct entity.
