Explanation

Tansen was one of the nine gems (Navaratnas) in Emperor Akbar's court and was associated with Hindustani classical music, not Carnatic music. He was primarily a vocalist and instrumentalist in the Hindustani tradition. Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Shyama Shastri together form the Trinity of Carnatic music.
