Question

Accepted Answer

1. Historical fact: Emperor Akbar's famous group of court intellectuals and artists are called the "Navratnas" (literally $9$ gems).

2. Identification of options:
- Purandar Das (Purandara Dasa) was a 16th-century Carnatic composer from South India, not a member of Akbar's court.
- Swami Haridas was a North Indian saint and musician, teacher of Tansen, but he was not listed among Akbar's Navratnas.
- Tansen is historically recorded as one of Akbar's Navratnas and a leading musician in his court.
- Amir Khusro lived in the 13th–14th centuries (far earlier than Akbar) and therefore could not have been Akbar's courtier.

3. Conclusion: Among the given names, Tansen is the one who was one of Akbar's Navratnas.
