The Rampur-Sahaswan gharana is a prominent school of Hindustani classical music, particularly known for its vocal traditions. Originating in the late 19th century, it was established by the legendary musician Ustad Inayat Hussain Khan. This gharana emphasizes intricate melodic patterns and emotional expression, making it unique in its approach to ragas. The gharana is also recognized for its contributions to instrumental music, especially the sitar and sarod. Its musicians often focus on the nuances of improvisation and the use of traditional compositions, which reflect the rich cultural heritage of Indian classical music.
