The first Gandharva Mahavidyalaya was established by Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar in Lahore in 1901 to provide formal, institutionalized training in Indian classical music. While the Delhi branch is highly prominent today, it is a common distractor as it was founded much later in 1939 by Paluskar's disciple, Vinay Chandra Maudgalya.
