About KalaSudha in Jodhpur

Indian classical music in Jodhpur has a court chapter in the story of the Mewati gharana, a khayal tradition of Hindustani vocal music. Ghagge Nazir Khan, whom the family archive and The National name as a founder with his brother, trained in another school and sang at the Jodhpur court before moving on to other courts.

The gharana takes its name from Mewat, the region its founding family left. The National singles out a bhajan and Sufi feel as what sets Mewati khayal apart.
