The Bishnupur Gharana is a traditional style of Indian classical music that originated in the town of Bishnupur, located in the state of West Bengal. This gharana is known for its unique blend of Hindustani classical music and local folk influences, characterized by intricate melodies and rhythmic patterns. It emphasizes the use of the dhrupad and khayal forms, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region. The gharana is closely associated with the patronage of the Malla kings, who supported artists and musicians during the 17th and 18th centuries. Prominent musicians from this gharana, such as Pandit Ramkrishna Das and Pandit Bholanath Bhattacharya, have contributed significantly to its legacy. Today, the Bishnupur Gharana continues to thrive, preserving its traditional roots while adapting to contemporary musical expressions.
