Abdul Karim Khan was born in Kairana village in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh into a musical family which traced its roots to musician brothers Ghulam Ali and Ghulam Maula.
The name of this school of music derives from Kirana or Kairana, a town and tehsil of Shamli District in Uttar Pradesh.
In 1970, Zazeela began studies in the Kirana school of Hindustani classical music with Pandit Pran Nath, of whom she has been a devoted disciple ever since.
