Event Description

Dhrupad is believed to be the most ancient style of Hindustani classical music that has survived until the present day in its original form. It traces its origin to the text of the Sama Veda (written around 1000 BCE), which was chanted with melody and rhythm. The word Dhrupad is derived from ‘dhruva’, or steadfast, for the North Star (Polaris) and ‘pada’ meaning poetry.

The nature of Dhrupad music is spiritual, meditative, introspective. The objective is not to entertain, but to immerse the listener in an experience of peace and contemplation.

One important aspect of Dhrupad is the emphasis on the purity of the note, the adherence to the raaga and the expression of one’s true voice. While there have been some innovations in terms of the texts that are sung, for the most part the music we hear today is performed as it was centuries ago, in the temples of ancient India, passed down via oral tradition from guru to shishya.
