Indian Classical Music Walk

In the footsteps of the Maestros

Varanasi

“The Benaras Gharana (or the Varanasi lineage) of Hindustani Classical Music emerged in this city in the 18th century. Known for its expressive and emotive style, it has a strong tradition in vocal forms like Thumri, Dadra, and Tappa as well as in instrumental music and dance. The gharana developed under the influence of local traditions, temple music, and court patronage. It is characterized by a deep sense of devotion, intricate rhythm, and lyrical beauty. Over the centuries, many great artists have carried forward its legacy, making it one of the prominent schools of Indian classical music.”

The Indian Classical Music Walk offers a curated journey through Varanasi’s storied musical traditions. Explore the roots of the Benaras Gharana, visit sites linked to legendary artists, discover traditional instrument makers, and engage with local musicians to experience the living heritage of Indian classical music.
