SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 32

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Nathdwara.

 

Dalchand Sharma is an eminent Pakhawaj exponent of the Nathdwara Gharana. This musical tradition, rooted in the temple town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan, reflects the devotional and rhythmic depth associated with the Dhrupad style of Hindustani classical music. Pandit Dalchand Sharma has played a pivotal role in preserving this gharana’s rich legacy through his expressive performances and pedagogy. He was trained in the guru–shishya parampara, learning from masters such as Acharya Pandit Totaram Sharma, Murlidhar Sharma, and Padma Shri Padma Purushottam Dasji—all stalwarts of the Nathdwara tradition.
