'''Benares gharana''' is a branch of Kathak dance. Dancers give more importance to tabla [[bols]] and there are very few [[todas]] and [[tukras]] in this [[gharana]]. The basic body position is very straight, and instead of circles, dancers do [[tatkar]].
Unlike the Lucknow gharana, the Benares gharana was not greatly impacted by the Mughals. Artists did everything under the name of religion and were independent of sponsors. They resided at the Hindu royal courts.
