Patiala Gharana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Patiala Gharana is one of the most prominent gharana of vocal Hindustani classical music. It was initially sponsored by rulers of the Patiala state of Punjab, which was famous for ghazal, thumri, and khayal.

This school of music has had a number of famous musicians, many of whom came to be partronised by royal family of Patiala after the disintegration of the Mughal Empire at Delhi in the 18th century. At the turn of the century, Ustad Ali Bux was the most renowned exponent of this Gharana. Later his sons, Ustad Akhtar Hussain Khan and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan achieved world wide fame and brought glory to the Patiala Gharana. This school of music continues to get the patronage of the State though the North Zone Culture Centre (NZCC) established at Patiala.
