by RAJASTHANBYCAR

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.

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.
