Gharanas of Kathak

- Kathak one of the eight forms of Indian classical dances, originated from India.The term Kathak is derived from the Vedic Sanskrit word Katha meaning "story", and kathaka in Sanskrit means "he who tells a story", or "to do with stories.
Kathak is found in three distinct forms, named after the cities (Gharnas) where the Kathak dance tradition evolved - Jaipur, Banaras and Lucknow.
Many people in the comment section has asked about the absence of Raigarh Gharana in the video.
As far as my research for making this video I knew that the main Gharanas of Kathak are - Lucknow, Benaras and Jaipur. *The Raigarh Gharana is not accepted by many people as a separate Gharana rather it is considered a 'Shaili' (genre). Also the Raigarh Gharana of Kathak is an amalgamation of the 3 older gharanas, thus not considered as a separate Gharana due to the lack of its own style and unique features. Although with passing time, teaching and popularity it is being accepted by many.*
as per my knowledge there are three gharanas of kathak Lucknow, Jaipur and Banarasi.
Lucknow gharana is plenty complex . It is the oldest one and foot work and complexity has been as important in it as Jaipur one. Jaipur Gharana was started by a member of Lucknow Gharana main family. And so was Banaras gharana. The respective 2 Gharana are known by what their teacher's personal dancing style specialization was. They were all relatives of Birju maharaj family.
I had read the whole history of the family and it's branches once upon a time and their names , not that I remember them now. Just the summary of it. Source: The history as taught by the Prayag Sangeet Samitii.
Personally I love Jaipur Gharana. Although, I do not find Banaras gharana- probably because I never liked how Gopi Kishan danced and just cannot get over it.
Totally agreed
Um with due respect when I gave the exam the theory one i studied about it and wrote about it as well....tho you are correct it's a fusion of three gharanas but it has its own history....like the thumri it was enhanced by nawab vajid Ali Shah who was a practitioner of raigar gharan as per my knowledge.....but you guys know better........🙏🙏
All gharana has it's own speciality ....but as I m from Jaipur gharana....I can surely say that Jaipur is the most difficult..and thrilling ...🔥🔥😘😘.
I just noticed I am in this video. Thank you for the feature and credit! :)
You are most welcome :)
You were great! Thank you for learning and performing. ❤💐
Hi nayantara..do u teach kathak
you are an amazing "KATHAK" dancer.
Nayantara ji ur peice was one of most beautiful
Being trained in Lucknow, I have a personal bias for it. The grace is exquisite! However, after watching this video, I couldnt help but admire Jaipur Gharana! Such beautiful complexity.
Thank you for this wonderful video.
Thankyou so much for appreciation :)
But you are from Assam?
I learned 1st two years in Lukhnow gharana and now learning in Jaipur gharana since last 2 years. I find both equally beautiful. Am in 4th year now and absolutely loving it.❤️❤️❤️
I'm from Jaipur gharana
@@manaliranadive6262 which gharana is the oldest tho? Which one of the 2 do you feel is the harder or say, more intense?
All Gharanas are beautiful
Lucknow Shringar Ras, Jaipur Veer Ras and Benaras Bhakti Ras. They lead u to God ShriKrishna 🙏🏻. Rasta koi bhi ho 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Initial 3 years I got training in Jaipur Gharana and now from the last 3 years I am learning the Lucknow Gharana format.
Initially it's a bit hard to adapt to other gharana since the emphasis to different aspects of the dance form is different in each Gharana.
But the experience of learning Kathak in different Gharanas is simply wonderful and brings in a sense of completeness😇😇.
It was a brief, to the point and informative video 👍
Wow, I'm so glad to read your comment and to know your love and dedication towards Kathak.It is one of the most beautiful dance ever.Wish you All the Best.
And thankyou so much for appreciating my video.
Pariva Singhal I am trained in Lucknow gharana and when i heard the banis the bols of jaipur gharana,i was getting goosebumps
I am from Lucknow gharana... I wish to learn Jaipur gharana too... 😊 So graceful is #kathak...
I also lucknow Guarana
Me too
I was learning Kathak of Jaipur Gharana, but our new Guruji is from Lucknow Gharana. It's amazing how there are many differences. It's been hard! But very lovely.
Very nice video :)
Oh that's really good that u are learning Kathak.I hope u do well and thanks for appreciating my work.
All the best :)
Each Gharana adds beautifully to this wonderful and mesmerizing dance form of ours ,that is KATHAK. It enriches your body and soul at the same time.
I am trained in Lucknow gharana and i want to learn the other two gharanas too.....i just want to drown in the sweet and graceful ocean of kathak.....
Waoo after seeing this I proud on Indian culture and dances .... ❤️
Kathak was originally temple dance(400bce) dedicated to gods also called as devdasi , later it evolved into story telling and still remained as temple dance dedicated to Radha Krishna mostly performed by vaishnavism sect.
After mughals arrived kathak was transformed to mujra the dance of prositicute and was culturally appropriate d later got diluted finally lost during British era when all dance forms stopped.
After independence kathak was bought back by birju maharaj in it orginal form and I hope people continue performing Kathak in its original form rather than diliuted version it would be huge disrespect to art otherwise.
I'm from Jaipur gharana!! Who else is from Jaipur gharana like my comment!! I want to learn kathak of Lucknow Gharana!! It's so graceful!!
I am getting the training in jaipur gharana and I've passed 5 exams of kathak, I wish I could learn the kathak of lucknow gharana
This is a great video. I love you kept men too, who are often stereotyped in classical dances. Thank you. It was informative and all artists were mentioned.
You're so welcome 😄
Wow! Such an informative video! :) As a Kathak aspirant, this video will come really handy :)
Culture Recipe Thanks for your appreciation.
Noticed no fans of Banaras in this comment section. Surprising.
Present sir😅
❤❤❤❤❤🌸🌸🌸I have no words for these dancers...incredibly beautiful they are.❤and all the gharanas are beautiful...each gharana has its own kind of uniqueness and a different way of telling story through steps😍
I completely agree with you. Thanks for such genuine comment :)
@@classiccinema1789 my pleasure :) ❤

Bahut bahut dhanyawaad iss video k liye🙏🙏
Snehal Joshi You are most welcome.I'm glad that you liked the video :)
मेरे विचार से घराना कोई भी हो दर्शक तो सिर्फ कत्थक देखते हैं। कत्थक नृत्य को किसी एक घराने में बांध के नहीं रखा जा सकता। जहां तक मेरा ज्ञान है कत्थक नृत्य की उत्पत्ति सर्वप्रथम लखनऊ घराने से हुई थी।
But still it’s better to celebrate our differences, this makes the dance form more diverse
Lucknow gharana is the best!
Devapriya Joddar aise sirf ek ka naam leke divide mat karo
All gharanas r best, always say & remember
Infact all the Gharanas are great :)
@@classiccinema1789 Hello i am trying to learn more about kathak, what gharana were Muslims mainly part of (related to the mughal times and afterwards)
@@SultanKhan-kg5jb lucknow
I learn Lucknow gharana but our guruji makes us do 50 chakkars everyday
Hahahh All the Best. You will surely come out to be a well trained dancer through such efforts.
Same here.. but I do Jaipur gharana :) instead our each step consist several chakkars...😂🔥🔥
Sakshi Singh Same here....
Sakshi Singh We get to do ati bedamdar 50 chakkars every class,and i love doing it
I was 1st in bharatnatyam and I shifted to kathak. Then joined jaipur gharana then moved into jaipur+ lucknow gharana now I'm currently in banaras gharana. Lots of experiences but the most complex and difficult was jaipur....easy is banaras but still practice is important...all I can say is kathak is more easier than bharatnatyam😅
Thanks for sharing your experience. Btw how was your experience in Banaras Gharana ?
@@classiccinema1789 it's amazing!!
Thank you for this wonderful video
2:46 guruma 🙏😊
Wow each gharana is so unique
Yes :)
Banaras Gharana is the best.
Waah ❤
Very good👍😊
🙏🌹🇮🇳
Wonderful performance.
I like Jaipur gharana
Am I the only one from Benaras gharana?😮
Mein bhi
May I know gharanas and their founders... Is it a long list???
Very informative.
Thankyou :)
Very nice video
So basically anyone who learns Kathak anywhere in the entire world has to be trained in one of these gharanas?
Shubhra Thakkar Yes as per my information one has to be trained in one of the Gharanas but sometimes people do mix the gestures and movements from different Gharanas.
But most of the well dancers are trained in one Gharana only.
Thanks for commenting :)

Lucknow Gharana
Which gharana did Madhuri Dixit learn
*She is trained in the Lucknow Gharana.* She learned Kathak from renowned Kathak dancer Pt.Birju Maharaj.
@@classiccinema1789 actually she was trained in both Jaipur and Lucknow gharana as she mentioned. She even said that she wants to learn Banaras gharana kathak to enhance her kathak skills more.
Who is the lady who dance first ??
Nayantara Parpia
Raigarh ghrana bhi to hai ...

One gharana is miss Lahore gharana
@aashish chutani very true.
do some research before post anything it will save you from embarrassment.
@aashish chutani you are right.the place where i live in usa i meet everyday lots of people from our neighbour country i don't know on what basis they prove themself more greater than our country.so many pakistani people said to me "YOGA" came from namaaz.seriously???????that's why i can't keep mum.
So,did you find so called “Lahore” Gharana?
Lahore mein koi kathak nahi hua.
bakwas jaipur
Kya yaar aap.
You should learn to respect Art
