Dagar family are the stalwarts of Dhrupad; but one thing they did not do is to bring the music down from the heavens to the earth. There is a lot of entertainment value of dhrupad; - the gammak; the layakari, the tihai - so much, but they have remained steadfastly divine & lost the younger generation
