Gharana movement

The Gharana movement in Indian classical music refers to the tradition of transmitting musical knowledge and styles through familial or institutional lineages. Each Gharana represents a distinct school or style of music, shaped by its founder and subsequent practitioners. These schools emphasize specific techniques, repertoire, and interpretations, preserving regional and personal nuances. The movement helps maintain diversity within classical music, fostering innovation while respecting historical roots. Overall, Gharanas serve as cultural custodians, ensuring the continuity and evolution of classical traditions across generations.
