Dhrupad of the Dagars - The Mosque That Preserved a Temple
Viewers interested in modern cinema often explore Dhrupad of the Dagars - The Mosque That Preserved a Temple because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
The film tells the saga of the Dagars - the renowned family of Moslem royal musicians, who over many generations practiced and preserved dhrupad - the oldest form of Indian classical music, that has its origins in Hindu temple music and spiritual thought. The two main protagonists are Fahimuddin Dagar, one of the last bearers of the knowledge of this tradition, and his student Ashish Sankrityayan, the filmmaker, who wields the camera while learning, discussing, singing, and travelling with his teacher.
