Rampur Sahaswan Gharana is a Gharana (musical heritage) of Hindustani classical music centered in the North-Uttar Pradesh towns of Rampur and Sahaswan.

Rampur (UttarPradesh) which was a major centre of North-Indian classical music from the reign of its fifth nawab, Nawab Yusuf Ali (1840-1868). This line of nawabs was of Afghan origin. The second, Sahaswan is a village in the Badayun district of the same state in which most of the Gharana’s famous musicians, were born. It is near Rampur. 

The Rampur Sahaswan Gayaki (style of singing) is closely related to the Gwalior Gharana, which features medium-slow tempos, a full-throated voice and intricate rhythmic play. The gharana style is also known for the diversity and intricacy of the taans (rapid fire elaborations), as well as tarana singing.
