Centenary of Tansen Samaroh

 Centenary of Tansen Samaroh In the melodious atmosphere of Gwalior, where classical music weaves its magical influence, the Tansen Samaroh has emerged as one of India’s most revered classical music events. Held annually at the Samadhi of Music Emperor Tansen in Gwalior, this festival marks its 100th year in 2024, making it perhaps the only classical music festival in India celebrated continuously for a century. Organized by the Madhya Pradesh Government, the festival is a symbol of respect for Tansen, whose legacy is central to Indian classical music. Tansen, born in Behat village near Gwalior, revolutionized Indian classical music. His compositions and mastery over ragas earned him the title of Music Emperor at the Mughal court under Emperor Akbar. His legacy, immortalized in the “Veer Bhanuday Kavya,” is encapsulated in the lines: “There has been no musician like Tansen, nor will there be one in the future.” His influence still resonates in the music of today, inspiring generations of musicians. The Tansen Music Festival is not merely a celebration of Tansen’s music but serves as a grand confluence of classical music, drawing thousands of music lovers. The Tansen Music Festival’s roots trace back to Maharaja Madhavrao Scindia, who initiated the Urs Tansen to honor Tansen’s legacy. This festival, celebrated by both Hindu and Muslim communities, reflects the spirit of unity, Tansen’s music embodied. From its inception, it has been a symbol of harmony through music, lasting three days. Gwalior’s music schools have been central to the festival’s success. Raja Mansingh, the ruler of Gwalior, is believed to have established a music school in the Gujari Mahal, where Tansen himself trained. Every year, students perform Dhrupad, Gwalior’s primary music genre, at the festival’s opening, paying homage to Tansen’s musical heritage. Behat: Tansen’s Birthplace Every year, a small tribute is held during the festival, where artists gather to honor Tansen. Additionally, the Tansen Award, presented by the Madhya Pradesh Government’s Department of Culture, recognizes individuals who


have made exceptional contributions to music. Established in 1980, the award has increased in prestige and is now valued at 5 lakh rupees. The centenary celebrations of the Tansen Samaroh in 2024 are designed to reflect the grandeur and cultural richness of the past 100 years. Tansen’s influence will be celebrated internationally with cultural events in 20 countries, aiming to introduce his music to global audiences. Behat will also become a Music Pilgrimage destination, with monthly music sessions held to honor Tansen’s birthplace and legacy. As part of the centenary celebrations, Department of Posts is proud to release a 

commemorative postage stamp to honor the ‘Centenary of Tansen Samaroh’. This stamp will symbolize Tansen’s profound contribution to Indian classical music and his lasting impact on the world. Credits: Stamp/ FDC/ Brochure/ : Shri Anuj Kumar Cancellation Cachet scource india post

The Indian Posts and Telegraphs Depart-ment has, since the year 1957, been bringing out special stamps to celebrate Children's Day each year. Various themes connected with the care and well-being of children have been depicted in them. The subject for the special stamp to be brought out on Children's Day on November 14, 1963, as recommended by the Inter-national Union for Child Welfare, Geneva, is "A National Policy for Children".

story of friendship of two nation india mauritius 75 year of diplomatic relation

  India and Mauritius share a longstanding bilateral relationship that spans several decades. While formal diplomatic relations began 75 years ago in 1948, the arrival of Indians in Mauritius dates back to the early 18th century, when Indian artisans and masons were brought to Mauritius under French Colonial rule. In the 19th and early 20th century, about half a million Indian indentured workers were brought to Mauritius under British rule, out of which, about two-thirds settled down in Mauritius. The first batch of 36 indentured workers arrived in Mauritius on 2nd November 1834 and 2nd November is now celebrated every year as ‘Aapravasi Diwas’. Mahatma Gandhi visited Mauritius in 1901 and exhorted Indian workers to educate themselves and become politically empowered. During the struggle for independence from British rule, Indian and Mauritian leaders were in regular contact. Soon after India became independent, India deputed Shri Dharam Yash Dev as the first Indian Commissioner to...
