India history and geography
Tumbura (Tumburu, Tumbaru, Tumbura,Tumvuru or Timburu) is one of the most celebrated celestial musicians in Indian mythology. He is usually recognized with his horse head. This horse faced gandharva is described in ancient Indian literatures as a master of music, skilled in dancing, good in playing stringed instruments. He leads the gandharvas in music and singing.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
