Location : Google Maps
Tana and Riri, two sisters who were supposed to have taught Tansen, the great singer of the Mughal Court, Raga Malhar ... According to the legend the sisters had requested Tansen never reveal to others as to who had taught him Malhar. But the Mughal Emperor Akbar somehow found out about this and wanted the sisters in his court. Because the sisters refused, the Mughal army was sent to Vadnagar to capture them. Instead of giving in, Tana and Riri preferred to commit suicide. The whole town mourned the loss of the sisters and a memorial was built in their honour. Source
