Maihar Gharana

Sitar, Sarod

Ustad Allauddin Khan founded the Maihar (Senia) gharana at the court of Maihar. Combining Senia dhrupad aesthetics with khayal improvisation, performances begin with a disciplined, dhrupad‑style alap and jor, proceed with a khayal‑style vilambit gat rich in tan patterns, and finish with a dynamic jhala; the gharana produced maestros such as Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan.
