Dhrupad

Dhrupad is an ancient and profound genre of Indian classical music, deeply rooted in spiritual and meditative traditions. It is characterized by its solemn, introspective nature, and adherence to the raga system. This genre emphasizes strictness in the purity of note, the importance of maintaining tonal accuracy, and a heavy concentration on the alap, which is an elaborate and gradual exposition of a raga. Vocals are delivered in a deep, sonorous style and are often accompanied by the tanpura and the pakhawaj, a traditional Indian barrel-shaped drum. Dhrupad is said to seek not just to entertain, but to induce feelings of peace and contemplation in the listener. Artists in this genre strive for a high level of spiritual and technical discipline, revealing layers of emotional and sonic depth within their performances.
