One interesting story mentioned in the book 'The Garden of Life' by Naveen Patnaik- pg 110 is with regards to legendary singer Tansen. The book mentions there is a famous tamarind tree in India which stands over the tomb of the legendary Indian singer Tansen whose golden voice made him one of the nine gems in Akbar's court. It is mentioned that four centuries later, India's finest classical sinders still travel to Tansen's tomb to pluck leaves from this tamarind tree to make into throat gargles, in the hope that their voices will become as pure as Tansen's !!
