Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The oldest form of Indian classical music that exists today is Dhrupad. The language of Dhrupad used mainly medieval Hind or Brijbhasha (known as Madhyadesiya between the 14th and 16th centuries). The birth of Dhrupad coincided with the Bhakti movement of Vallabh Sampradaya and resultantly was devotional in nature. Raja Man Singh, king of Gwalior and a musician and a great lover of music gave Dhrupad immense encouragement and introduced many refinements. This came to be known as the Darbari Dhrupad. On account of his contribution, he is known as the originator of the Dhrupad style that is followed even today.
