The '''Maihar gharana''' is a [[gharana]] or school of [[Hindustani classical music]], a style of Indian classical music originating in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent. The school was formed by [[Allaudin Khan]] in the [[princely state]] of [[Maihar State|Maihar]], now in the central Indian state of [[Madhya Pradesh]], and hence the name.<ref>{{cite book|title=Rashtriya Sahara|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7QJuAAAAMAAJ|year=1998|publisher=Sahara India Mass Communication}}</ref> Allauddin Khan learnt music from [[Wazir Khan (Rampur)|Wazir Khan]], an exponent of the '''Senia gharana'''.
