hey mate,
here is your answer,
Raag Deepak is a song sang by Tansen
Since ancient times, music has been given a special place in the Indian society. Indian classical music history is enriched with numerous musicians who were able to create different effects in seasons, daytimes through ragas. One such musician was the legendary Tansen. He lived during Akbar's time.
Tansen was one of the nine jewels in Akbar's court. He had so much expertise over the ragas that he could painted pictures, brought rains, lighted fire with his singing. Similarly, if he sang an evening raag during daytime, the sunlight would diminish and it would look like its dusk already.
Tansen went to Akbar's court in 1556 and soon became his favourite. A lot of Akbar's courtiers became jealous of Tansen's privileges. They schemed to burn Tansen while he sang raag Deepak. This raag when sung caused fire in the area of performance. The courtiers spread the word that Tansen could make diya light up with his singing. Akbar heard about this talent and asked Tansen to perform the feat.
Tansen was afraid, but could not disobey the king. He asked for some time to prepare himself. Tansen knew that if he sing raag Deepak - the raag of fire, the heat it gives off will not only set the lamps alight, but it will also burn him to ashes. Then he had an idea. He taught raga Megha Malhar - the raag of rain, to his daughter. If sing properly, this raag could bring rain.
On the day of his performance, Tansen started singing raag Deepak. Soon the temperature of the hall started rising. Suddenly, the hall was lit with countless diyas. As the music continued, everything in the surrounding started burning. In the mean time, Tansen's daughter started singing raag Megh Malhar which brought clouds and rains all over to douse off the fire. Thus, Tansen was saved.
