- Ustad Nasir Moinuddin Dagar was born in Alwar, Rajasthan, the eldest son of musician Nasiruddin Khan of the Dagar lineage. Contemporary sources listed his birth date as 1919, while the Oxford Encyclopaedia of the Music of India listed it as 12 May 1921.
He was initiated into dhrupad singing by his father, who provided strict and rigorous training. He was seventeen when his father died. He supported his mother and five younger siblings by working as a teacher, while receiving training in Jaipur from his uncle Riazuddin Khan. He would go on to train younger brothers Nasir Aminuddin Dagar, Nasir Zahiruddin Dagar, and Nasir Faiyazuddin Dagar.
He left Udaipur after his training, and moved to Bombay in 1947, where he and Nasir Aminuddin started performing. The two brothers had an exceptionally close relationship, with Aminuddin formally accepting him as his musical guru. They first performed for the radio in 1942, and were well regarded as live performers.
Ustad Nasir Moinuddin Dagar performed primarily with his brother Ustad Nasir Aminuddin Dagar as the "Dagar Brother" duo, known for jugalbandi. Together, they helped popularize dhrupad for new audiences.
They toured Europe in the 1960s with Nasir Aminuddin Dagar, participating in music events in countries like France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, and Japan. Their November 1964 tour included a stop in Paris, which was recorded and released by UNESCO. Moinuddin Dagar suffered a heart attack while on tour in Europe, and complications would eventually lead to his death.
In 1955, they founded the Bharatiya Sangeet Vidyalay in Benares, and subsequently moved to Delhi to take up jobs at the Bharatiya Kala Kendra in New Delhi. He was, for many years, head of the Bharatiya Kala Kendra's music department.
In 1966, the two moved from Delhi to Bombay, where they founded and taught at the Bharat Sangeet Vidya Bhavan.
Ustad Nasir Moinuddin Dagar died in Bombay on 24 May 1966.

Thank you for this. Wonderful picture of Moinuddinji I hadn’t seen before. Could you please reupload the recording of Aminuddinji singing Komal Re Asavari you posted last week? I didn’t get a chance to listen to it yet. I saved the link but when I went back to hear it, UA-cam said it had been taken down. Thanks so much again for uploading these treasures
Thank you so much. I will upload Komal Rishabh Asavari sung by Ustad Nasir Aminuddin Dagar Sahib very soon. The video had to be deleted due to a technical problem.
❤ Thanks again. I am so grateful for any recordings of Senior Dagar Brothers that you can share. Their music has changed my life and I consider every recording of them a spiritual gift. This made it extra distressing when I felt I had let one slip through my fingers.
