Mewati Gurukul of Sitar

Mewati Gurukul of Sitar was established by Ustad Siraj Khan to teach disciples the true essence of Sitar playing as perfected and handed down from deep rooted historical tradition. He wishes to spread the musical message of the Gharana in true Guru-Shishya Parampara.

The unique format of short Alap followed by Khayal-Ang Vilambit bandishes, Meru-khand and Gamak taans and even semi classical / light music are all part of the taalim (teaching). Mewati Gurukul is a registered organization. Throughout the year music lectures and demonstrations / Riyaz sessions, Workshops are conducted in Mumbai and outdoor locations so disciples are able to upgrade their playing skills. An annual Guru Purnima is held at the best venues. It is a gala affair where eminent musicians come and perform and all promising students also participate to pay respects to their  Guru . 

Many promising disciples like Vanitha Acharya, Akhila Acharya, Sriram Acharya, Nagnath Mankeshwar, Bhagirath Bhatt, Aman Telang, Mandar Namjoshi, Smita Koppikar, Hrishikesh Nagaonkar, Gaurav Nagor are already performing in the music circles.
