Presenting Dhrupad  music in Jugalbandi  (Duet performance )  has been a very important feature of Dagar Tradition.

Ustad Zakiruddin Khan  and his younger brother Ustad Allabande Khan  (d. 1926) who was the court musician in Alwar , another well –known center  in Rajasthan , were much renowned for their  rendition of alap, their Jugalbandi  and profound musical knowledge.  Esteemed by other musicians  and connoisseurs as eminent figures  in the Dhrupad world , they were invariably  given a great deal of attention  and respect in musical meetings and gatherings.  Their musicianship and  performance is considered a great achievement of the 20^th century.

After independence, The senior Dagar Brothers - Ustad  Nasir Moinuddin Dagar and Ustad Nasir  Aminuddin dagar ( son of Ustad Nasiruddin Dagar  and grand son of Ustad Allabande Khan)  made a significant presence in  music world.  They were popularly known as  Dagar Brothers. Their efforts to take Indian music to abroad and to popularize Dhrupad music after independence  made  a history.  They performed Dhrupad all over the world  in early  sixties.  It was their presence in Indian music scenario  which made possible  the revival of   Dhrupad music  in present times.
