Dhruvatara - the evening star, the star that never trembles, and Pada - poetry, merge to give name to this music, Dhrupad.
Dhrupad, the name does what it should, it makes luminous the nature of that which is named.

"When I close my eyes and begin to sing, there is only darkness... slowly, light comes, then the beginnings of colour."Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar |
