The '''Qawwal Bacchon Ka Gharana''' or '''Dilli Gharana''' is the oldest [[Qawwal]] [[gharana]] of the [[Hindustani Classical music]] tradition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://artsandculture.google.com/exhibit/QQISyf_exzdwJQ|title=Dilli Gharana|website=Google Arts & Culture}}</ref> It was founded by [[Amir Khusrau]] (1253-1325) and his students in the 13th century.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The members of this gharana have lived in [[Delhi]] for many generations. The gharana was founded by the disciples of [[Amir Khusrau]], a pioneer of [[qawwali]], [[tarana]] and khayal. As a result, this gharana specializes in these genres.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ranade |first1=Ashok Da. |title=Music Contexts: A Concise Dictionary of Hindustani Music |date=2006 |publisher=Promila & Co.

==Style==<br />
Members of this gharana approach [[Raga (music)|raagdari]] with more freedom than the dhrupad-informed gharanas, like [[Gwalior gharana|Gwalior]], [[Jaipur-Atrauli gharana|Jaipur]], and [[Agra gharana|Agra]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Te Nijenhuis |first1=Emmie |author-link=Emmie te Nijenhuis |title=Indian Music: History and Structure |date=1974 |location=Belgium |page=90}}</ref> Emphasis on [[bhav]] and exposition are the hallmarks of this style.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.culturalindia.net/indian-music/hindustani-gharanas.html|title=Gharanas Of Hindustani Music - Hindustani Classical Gharanas - Hindustani Music Gharanas|website=www.culturalindia.net|access-date=2 July 2019|archive-date=29 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190629081612/https://www.culturalindia.net/indian-music/hindustani-gharanas.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Repertoire===<br />
In addition to extensive khayal compositions, the gharana is known for its [[qawwali|qawwals]].<ref name=Herald>{{Cite news|url=https://herald.dawn.com/news/1153223|title=Qawwal Gali: The street that never sleeps|first=Alifiyah|last=Imani|date=20 August 2015|newspaper=Herald Magazine (Dawn Group of Newspapers)|archive-date=22 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150822022729/https://herald.dawn.com/news/1153223|access-date=16 December 2024|url-status=live|quote="This street is so alive at night, especially during Ramzan, that you might think that no one ever sleeps here".}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
Some orthodox members of [[Indian classical]] music world do not regard the Delhi gharana as an "authentic" one because its members include a number of [[tabla]] and [[sarangi]] players. Some believe these members do not represent a truly unique musical style. Scholars note the individual quality of each generation's leading singer. Though, this tradition is a gharana in familial terms.{{fact|date=January 2023}}<br />
<br />
It is strictly forbidden to play Sarangi in the tradition of the original Qawwal Bacche.{{fact|date=January 2023}}<br />
