The prestigious Tansen Festival, a cornerstone of Indian classical music, began in its traditional form on Monday morning at the Tansen Samadhi site in Hazira, Gwalior. Marking the 101st year of the iconic festival, the opening ceremonies featured shehnai recital, Harikatha, Milad Sharif, chadar covering, and qawwali, paying homage to the legendary maestro Tansen.The morning proceedings commenced with a soulful shehnai performance by Ustad Majid Khan and his companions, who rendered ragamayi compositions in keeping with age-old customs. This was followed by a spiritual Harikatha discourse by Nathpanthi saint Dholebua Maharaj (Sri Sachchidand Nath Ji), who spoke about the bond between divinity and humanity, emphasising that music itself is a form of spirituality. He presented devotional compositions in raga Vrindavani Sarang, including “Mera Sahib ko dil atka” and “Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram”, along with other bhajans interwoven in multiple ragas.
