masters of the Rudra Veena (or Been) today. He is
the last surviving exponent of the Khandarbani -

the 18th century when his ancestors were royal
musicians in the princely court of Jaipur. Asad Ali
Khan was born in 1937 and began his rigorous
training under his father for over fifteen years in
Rudra Veena and Vocals.
Today, Ustad Asad Ali Khan is the undisputed master

contemplation evoked by his music.
