Khurja Gharana

The Khurja Gharana is a musical apprenticeship tribe of Hindustani classical music. Known for being Azmat Hussain Khan's and Jitendra Abhisheki's musical lineage, the gharana emerged from a family of Nauharbani musicians and gained recognition during the life of Altaf Hussain Khan who was born at Khurja.

With its own distinct aesthetics, stylings, practices, and repertoire, the gharana melded with Jaipur-Atrauli, Agra, Qawwal Bacchon, Atrauli, and Hapur musical traditions.
