Kirana Music

Kirana Music is a traditional Indian classical music genre rooted in the Mughal era, characterized by its improvisational style centered around specific melodic frameworks called ragas. It emphasizes nuanced expression, intricate melodic development, and rhythmic patterns called talas. Kirana Gharana, one of the prominent schools of this tradition, is known for its emphasis on smooth, ornate melodic raga renditions and soulful singing. Musicians often focus on subtle microtonal nuances and emotional depth, making Kirana Music a refined and meditative art form that requires deep mastery and sensitivity.
