Tansen Music Festival, Gwalior
 Madhya
Pradesh occupies a special position in the history of Indian music. The
Gwalior gharana is among the most prominent arbiters of the classical
style. Raja Mansingh's patronage of Dhrupad singers is well known.
A pillar of Hindustani classical music,
the great Tansen, one of the 'nine jewels' of Akbar's court, lies buried
in Gwalior. The memorial to this great musician has a pristine
simplicity, and is built in the early Mughal architectural style. More
than a monument, the Tansen Tomb is a part of Gwalior's living cultural
heritage. It is the venue of the annual Indian classical festival held
here in November-December. Renowned classical singers of the land regale
audiences through five mesmerizing night-long sessions of the much-loved
classical ragas.
