Dhrupad Music Institute of America

Dhrupad Music Institute of America Dhrupad is an ancient style of Indian classical music. The word Dhrupad is derived from "Dhruva", the steadfast North Star (Polaris) and "pada" meaning poetry.

The Dhrupad Music Institute of America is an online educational resource dedicated to increasing the understanding of the history and practice of Dhrupad, as one of the world's greatest traditions of both vocal and instrumental classical music. The nature of Dhrupad is spiritual; seeking not to entertain, but to induce feelings of peace and contemplation in the listener. It is a form of devotional

music that traces its origin to chanting of the ancient text of Sama Veda. From this early chanting, millennia ago, Dhrupad evolved into the sophisticated classical form of music, that it is today.
