Enayat Khan

Ustad Enayat Khan (Urdu: عنایت خان ‎) (1894–1938) was one of India's most influential sitar and surbahar players in the first decades of the 20th Century. He was the father of Vilayat Khan, one of the topmost sitariyas of the postwar period. He was born in Uttar Pradesh into a family of musicians. His father was the great sitar maestro Imdad Khan, who taught him the sitar and surbahar (bass sitar) in the family style, known as the Imdadkhani Gharana or Etawah Gharana (school), named after a small village near Agra called Etawah. He married Basiran Bibi, daughter of khyal singer Bande Hussain.
