Facts about Jaipur Kathak Gharana

The Jaipur Gharana developed in the courts of the 
Kachchwaha kings of Jaipur in Rajasthan
Importance is placed on the more technical aspects of dance, such as complex and powerful footwork, multiple spins, and complicated compositions in different talas. There is also a greater incorporation of compositions from the pakhawaj, such as parans. The Jaipur gharana has many more branches and off-shoots than the Lucknow style and requires a detailed tree diagram to show these. However, in the last century, the work of the Jaipur gharana dancers Jai LalSunder Prasad and Narayan PrasadKundanlal Gangani and Sunderlal Gangani and Durga Lal was instrumental in developing the gharana.
