The Gwalior Gharana is one of the oldest Khayal Gharanas and one to which most classical Indian musicians can trace the origins of their style to this Gharana. The rise of the Gwalior Gharana started with the reign of the great Mughal emperor Akbar (1542-1605). The favorite singers of this patron of the arts, such as Miyan Tansen, first amongst the vocalists at the court, came from the town of Gwalior. The Gwalior Gharana exponents usually prefer to begin Ragas in the medium tempo Madhyalaya rather than the slow tempo Vilambit as is the same with other Gharanas.
