The Kashmiri Gharana is one of the oldest gharanas of Sufiyana music in the Indian subcontinent. It holds historical importance as a foundational tradition in classical Sufi music. Even Ustad Ali Baksh Khan, the father of the legendary vocalist Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, was a disciple of the Kashmiri Gharana. Ustad Ali Baksh Khan, also known as Ustad Ali Baksh Jarnail Khan (1850–1920), was a renowned Indian classical singer.
In the 19th century, Ustad Ali Baksh Khan, along with his friend Fateh Ali Khan, co-founded the Patiala Gharana, which became one of the most prominent gharanas of Hindustani classical music. This connection underscores the Kashmiri Gharana's influence and its role as a precursor to the Patiala Gharana.
The Kashmiri Gharana predates the Patiala Gharana and is recognized as a significant chapter in the history and evolution of Indian classical and Sufi music.
