Dhrupad, the ancient style of Hindustani classical music
is a major heritage of Indian culture. The word Dhrupad is derived from
two words namely Dhruva (the unwavering evening star that moves through
our galaxy) and Pada (poetry). Dhrupad music is a form of devotional music
originated from Samveda (chanted with vocal style called 'Chhanda' and
'Prabandha' which led to the emergence of Dhrupad).
