Evolved from the dhrupad tradition of the Atrauli and Dagarbani lineages, but known for khayal,[1] this gharana is known for producing acclaimed musicians like Kishori Amonkar, Kesarbai Kerkar, Laxmibai Jadhav, Mogubai Kurdikar, Mallikarjun Mansur, Shruti Sadolikar, Dhondutai Kulkarni, and Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande.
[2] The Jaipur-Atrauli gharana emerged from Alladiya Khan's family which originated from Atrauli (near Aligarh) and migrated to Jaipur.
Not only are the notes sung in rhythm with the taal but progress between the matras (beats) is in fractions of quarters and one-eighths.
No other gharana has paid so much attention to the aesthetics and laykari in singing bol-alaaps and bol-taans[citation needed].
From ghazals of Mehdi Hassan to the Marathi natyageets of Bal Gandharva, the Jaipur-Atrauli style has enjoyed broad popular appeal.
[10] Within Hindustani Classical music, many popular musicians outside of this tradition have adopted some of its aesthetics and techniques, most notably Bhimsen Joshi.
