Limerick.....67.[ Polturam The Globe Trotter: Bahrain ] Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

Polturam visited kingdom of Bahrain
Going on foot, not by air or train;
Met His Highness
Wearing royal dress
Nawab said, ‘Poltu, sing and bring rain.'


Note:
Bahrain is a country situated in southwest Asia.

Tansen (1520-1585 A.D.) [ during the reign of emperor Akbar (1542-1605 A.D.) ] was a singer who could bring shower by singing.
He used to sing 'Megha-mallar' a tune in Indian Classical Music for bringing shower. Later he composed a tune known as 'Miyan-ki-mallar'

Probably the then Nawab of Bahrain was well informed about Tansen and his singing-bringing rain.
