The Gwalior Gharana (Gwalior school of classical music) is one of the oldest Khyal Gharana in Indian classical music. The rise of the Gwalior Gharana started with the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar (1542–1605).
The favourite singers of this patron of the arts, such as Miyan Tansen, who was the most famous vocalist at the court of Akbar, came from the town of Gwalior.
