How To Reach Tansen's Barahdari

Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India
History and Purpose: This single-storey, rectangular structure, whose name literally means 'Twelve Door Pavilion' (Barahdari), is traditionally associated with Miyan Tansen, the legendary musician and one of the nine gems (Navratnas) of Emperor Akbar's court. Although historical evidence is scant, l egend suggests this is where he practiced his mesmerizing ragas and perhaps performed for the emperor. Its location, often cited as near the main religious/town complex, suggests a link to public or semi-public court functions. Architecturally, a Barahdari is a pavilion designed to allow maximum airflow. It is believed that the structure's acoustics were perfect for musical practice and performance. It stands today as a tribute to the celebrated cultural heritage of the Mughal court under Akbar. The Legend of Ragas: The structure is famous for the local legend that Tansen could ignite lamps with his Deepak Raga and bring rain with the Megh Malhar Raga within these walls.
