The Kirana Gharana

Kirana style of Hindustani Music is one of the most melodious schools of Indian Classical music.  Some of the greatest exponents of this style are Abdul Karim Khan,  Savai Gandharva,  Bhimsen Joshi, and Gangubai Hanagal.

In the Kirana style, the singer leads the accompanists to the core of a raga, by slowly and melodiously peaking.
