The Mishras of Bettiah Gharana, renowned for Dhrupad singing, are associated with which Indian state?
Bihar
This question links the Mishras of the Bettiah Gharana, celebrated for Dhrupad singing, with an Indian state.
A gharana is a lineage-based school of Indian classical music that carries a distinct style handed down over generations.
Dhrupad is one of the oldest and most austere forms of Hindustani classical vocal music, marked by slow, meditative elaboration of ragas.
The Bettiah Gharana takes its name from Bettiah, a town in the West Champaran district of Bihar, where it flourished under royal patronage.
The Mishra family of this gharana has long been renowned for preserving and performing the Dhrupad tradition, keeping this endangered style alive.
Telangana, Uttarakhand and Maharashtra have their own rich musical traditions but are not the home of the Bettiah Gharana.
Therefore the correct answer is Bihar.
