Maihar-Senia Gharana (School of Music)
In our academy we learn Indian classical Bansuri music in the tradition of Maihar-Senia Gharana. The school of Maihar-Senia Gharana comes from Sant Haridas and his disciple Tansen of the 15th century. In our Gharana, importance is given to purity and serenity of the ragas and the belief that Ragas are sung and played for one’s own happiness and self-elevation.
Indian classical music is Gurumukhi Vidya (Education learnt from Guru) which has been and is being transferred from Guru to disciples for centuries. Most recent great exponents of Maihar-Senia Gharana are Acharya Allauddin Khan, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Guruma Annapurna Devi and in Bansuri artistes; Pandit Pannalal Ghosh and Pandit Nityanand Haldipur.
