Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar, Ustad Hussain Sayeeduddin Dagar and Ustad Rahim
Fahimuddin Dagar through whom he has learnt the various subtle vocal nuances
of Dagar Dhrupad. This is one of the oldest forms of Indian classical vocal
music, said to have originated in the chanting of Vedic hymns. Ashish has made
a documentary film on Dhrupad, ‘the Call of the Deep’.
