About
The tomb of Mian Tansen, one of the nine jewels (Navaratnas) of Emperor Akbar's court and the greatest musician in Indian history. Located in the Hazira area near the tomb of his Sufi master Mohammad Ghaus, the site is a pilgrimage for classical musicians. A tamarind tree here is believed to bestow musical talent on those who chew its leaves. The annual Tansen Music Festival is held here every December.
