The Gwalior Gharana is one of the oldest Khayal Gharanas and one to which most classical Indian musicians can trace the origin of their style. The rise of the Gwalior Gharana started with the reign of the great Moghul Emperor Akbar. The favorite singers of this patron of the arts, such as Miyan Tansen, first amongst the vocalists at the court, came from the city of Gwalior.
