There has never been any musician like Tansen, and there will be no other as well. Maharaja Madhavrao Scindia initially started Tansen Samaroh as Urs Tansen – a commemoration of his music by Hindus and Muslims. This eventually blossomed into a three-day extravaganza, with performances from the greatest maestros in classical music. It is, in addition to being a testament to Tansen’s legacy, a gesture to musical unity and cultural amity. This music tradition goes several centuries back when Raja Mansingh is supposed to have started a school of music in Gujari Mahal; Tansen was one of its students. The contemporary students of this art open the festival with their performance of Dhrupad, the most distinctive music of Gwalior. Every year, a special tribute is conducted at Behat, the birthplace of Tansen, when people gather there to celebrate his memory and music. The Department of Posts issued a special postage stamp to commemorate the momentous milestone, celebrating the lasting contribution Tansen has to Indian classical music. It would be this historical gesture of saluting the milestone of one hundred years of tradition in musical practice that would make sure the name Tansen was there for many years to come.

Description
One of India’s most prestigious festivals of classical music, Tansen Samaroh has long been residing in the ancient city of deep-rooted musical heritage, Gwalior. In 2024, it will be an iconic festival turning a century-100 years-long unbroken tradition and reverence toward the legendary musician Tansen. This festival is celebrated at his Samadhi in Gwalior, where the gigantic contribution he made to Indian classical music is remembered and a great confluence of music lovers, scholars, and artists from all over the world converges. Born in Behat village near Gwalior, Tansen was the pioneer who gave Hindustani classical music its present form. One of the Navratnas of Emperor Akbar’s court, it has ensured mastership over ragas and introduced new compositions that became the foundation of many classical traditions prevalent even in these times. His talents in music have been left behind only in poems, as will be seen in these lines from Veer Bhanuday
