The musical treatise *Sangeetasiromani* was compiled in the 15th century under the patronage of Sultan Ibrahim Shah Sharqi of the Jaunpur Sultanate. The Sharqi rulers of Jaunpur were renowned patrons of art, architecture, and music, and Jaunpur became a prominent cultural center, earning the title “Shiraz of India”. *Sangeetasiromani* is one of the significant works produced during this period, consolidating knowledge of Indian classical music.

*Sangeetasiromani* is a significant treatise on Indian music dedicated to Sultan Ibrahim Shah Sharqi of Jaunpur.

The Jaunpur Sultanate (1394-1479) was known for fostering a unique style of architecture and promoting learning and arts. Ibrahim Shah Sharqi’s reign is considered a golden age for art and culture in Jaunpur. Raja Man Singh Tomar of Gwalior (15th-16th century) was also a great patron of music and is credited with the development of the Dhrupad style and the compilation of the musical text *Man Kutuhal*. However, *Sangeetasiromani* is associated with Ibrahim Shah Sharqi.
