About Dhrupad Music Foundation
Dhrupad or ‘Dhruv Pada’ is the most ancient form of music in india. It is the ‘mother’ of all other genres of music. We may trace its origin to Saamaveda. The Saamaveda is, in essence, a system of ‘reciting’ the verses of the Rigveda. This system gradually evolved with time, laying the foundation of a more complex system of musical improvisation, which came to be known as Dhrupad. Therefore, the nature of Dhrupad is ‘spiritual’ and was originally a form of temple music, meant to be sung or played as an offering to the Lord.
