Indian music is a wonderful blend of modernity with tradition. The 13th century marks the beginning of Islamic rule in India and the rise of Hindustani classical music in North India. At this time, musical geniuses were honoured as courtiers in the king's darbar. Under the protection and patronage of the king, they practiced classical music and their music was performed at the royal court. Musicians used to perform music in front of about 100 to 150 people with bare throats. The technology for amplifying the voice had not yet been invented. But the architecture of the royal palaces was such that the sound spread throughout the place. So musicians had to practice to increase the volume of the voice. From the beginning, they had to stay within the Taleem and Riyaaz. During this time many new forms of Hindustani music were created and some old forms lost their popularity as the nineteenth century came.
