Several names stand out in the history of this gharana. Narayan Prasad emphasized the poem in Kathak, while Banu was the first artist to be a devotee to Lord Shiva. He was captivated by the [[tandav]] style of Kathak, and taught it to both of his sons, Bhalu and Khanu. Khanu went to Vrindavan (where Radha grew up), and became a devotee of Lord Krishna. Later, he went to Rajasthan.
