What is Patiala Gharana

Patiala Gharana is one of the vocal gharanas (tradition, school, or style of music) of Hindustani classical music, named after the city of Patiala in Punjab, India, where it was established.

Mian Kallu founded Patiala Gharana in the mid to late 19th century. He was a sarangi player who received his musical training from Qutub Bakhsh 'Tanras' Khan, a court musician of the last Mughal king Bahadur Shah Zafar. He later became the court musician of the Maharaja of Patiala.

Patiala Gharana was popularized by his son 'General' Ali Baksh Khan and his close friend 'Colonel' Fateh Ali Khan, who were court musicians in Patiala. They were known as 'Ali-a-Fattu ki Jodi' and were awarded the titles of 'general' and 'colonel' by the British governor-general after their impressive performance.

Patiala Gharana was inspired by and influenced by four musical gharanas: Delhi, Gwalior, Jaipur, and Riva. It is particularly noted for its ghazal, thumri, and khayal singing styles. It is also known for its creative intelligence, beauty, and power, which are the meanings of its name in Hindi.

Patiala Gharana has produced many famous musicians over the years, such as Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Barkat Ali Khan, Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan, Ustad Hamid Ali Khan, and Raga Boyz.
