Later on, Dhrupad musicians were patronized in the royal courtsby the Rajputs and Mughals. With time, Dhrupad started disappearing insociety during the early part of the 20th century due to the increased popularityof other forms of music and loss of royal patronage.

Before this time the All India Radio alsotook initiatives towards the promotion of Dhrupad. Slowly other Dhrupadsammelans were arranged across India. There were few Dhrupad artists ofDagar Tradition with a high level of artistry, who were not intimidated byadversities and, with their persistence and dedication, continued to serveauthentic Dhrupad music to audiences through music concerts, as a concertartist and music concert organizer. Afterward, artists from other Dhrupadtraditions played similar roles; as a result, in the last few decades, there hadbeen an explosion of Dhrupad festivals/concerts across India. These festivalsare organized by societies/organizations/academies (government/private)under the leadership of eminent Dhrupad masters. This study delineatesan account of the significant Dhrupad concerts across India and, basedupon the present concert scenario, concludes that Dhrupad seems to havebeen able to get back to the Hindustani Classical music audience.
