Bahauddin Dagar plays the rudra been in the Dagar dhrupad tradition, maintaining the gentle meditativeness, sweet, rounded tone, and polished presentation that are hallmarks of the Dagar style. At the same time, he is allowing his own temperament to guide him in creating a music that revitalizes the genre after several generations of aesthetic stasis. Puriya Kalyan is amongst the most popular evening ragas of the Hindustani tradition.
