Options:

Gwalior Gharana

Agra Gharana

Patiala Gharana

Bhendi Bazaar Gharana

Correct Answer:

Patiala Gharana

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - Patiala Gharana.

Bade Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Baksh Jarnail Khan were the founders of the Patiala Gharana of Hindustani classical music. They were both trained in the Delhi Gharana, but they developed their own unique style that combined elements of the Delhi, Gwalior, and Jaipur-Atrauli Gharanas.

The Patiala Gharana is known for its emphasis on clear diction, smooth and flowing melodies, and emotional expression. It has produced some of the greatest classical singers of all time, including Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Gohar Ali Khan, and Asad Amanat Ali Khan.
