About Tansen Mian
Mian Tansen was a prominent Indian classical music composer, musician and vocalist. He was known for his large number of compositions and was among the Navratnas at the court of Akbar, the Mughal emperor. He composed several ragas including Bhairav, DarbariTodi, Darbar Kanada, Maihar, Sarang, and Rageshwari. These are all considered as the foundation of classical music. Tansen's major contribution is to the Gwalior Gharana of classical music- a popular musical gharana of Madhya Pradesh. The distinguishing feature of this Gharana is its simplicity and Mian Tansen's name is inseparable from Gwalior.
There are even several legends associated with Tansen's life. It is believed that Mian Tansen could bring down the rain with Raag Megh Malhar and could even light lamps with the legendary Raag Deepak. Such was the power of his music that whenever he sang, everything would light up automatically.
