After Ustad Nasiruddin Khan's demise, the brothers trained under Ustad Riyazuddin Khan and Ustad Ziauddin Khan Dagar. According to Encyclopedia Britannica's profile of Nasir Aminuddin Dagar: "Nasir Aminuddin Dagar, ...Indian singer, exponent of the dhrupad tradition, a spiritual and intensely demanding form of Hindustani vocal music, involving gesture as well as sound. He and his brothers, who were also dhrupad singers, were believed to be the 19th generation of singers–dating to the 18th century–in the Dagar family."
