This book attempts to trace the origin and history of Dhrupad and its present state. Dhrupad has evolved over many generations, starting from temples to changing its shape especially during Ibrahim Adil Shah's time when it became more romantic in expression.
This book comprehensively explains the different schools of Dhrupad gayaki, providing an in-depth study of the Dagar and Darbhanga-Bettiah gharanas and their exponents. Covering both theory and practical aspects of the subject, the book is perfect for music students due to the relevance of the topics covered, as well as concert lovers and connoisseurs of music.
