~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dhrupad, century-old style of Indian classical music, originates in Vedic scansion. Its practice is closely linked to the practice of Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound).

The rhythmics traditionally accompanying it find their base in Sanskrit stanzas, which also represent the purest expression of Indian aesthetic grammar.
