Academy of Indian Classical Music invites you to embark on a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Benaras Gharana, a centuries-old tradition of Indian classical music. Nestled in the heart of Varanasi, our institute pulsates with the spirit of Guru-Shishya Parampara, the revered teacher-student lineage that has nurtured musical maestros for generations.

Unveiling the Legacy:

Benaras Gharana, also known as Varanasi Gharana, is a priceless gem in the crown of Indian music. Imagine vocalists weaving magic with their mellifluous voices, instrumentalists painting emotions with the touch of their fingers, and dancers narrating tales through graceful movements. This tradition echoes with the resonance of renowned artists, yet faces the peril of fading away due to the scarcity of dedicated teachers and students.

Preserving the Melody:

Driven by a deep-seated passion to safeguard this heritage, Pandit Shivnath Mishra and his family established the Academy of Indian Classical Music. Here, we strive to revive and disseminate the essence of Benaras Gharana through:

  • Benaras Gharana Baccha (The Children's Project): We nurture the musical aspirations of young minds, instilling in them the values and techniques of this precious tradition.
  • Unveiling the Unprecedented: For dedicated foreign students, we unlock the doors to styles previously inaccessible, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from the source.
  • Embracing the Gurukul Spirit: Our institute fosters a warm and familial atmosphere, reminiscent of ancient Gurukuls. One-to-one lessons replace impersonal classrooms, ensuring personalized attention and deep understanding.
