Instruments

"Whichever art form you study or enjoy and like, then learn it or follow it with a lot of love. If you love something it will love you back, gaana bajana pyaar se hi hota hai, if love is not in your heart it won't be in your hands or voice. " - Ustad Alla Rakha

Tabla is the most famous percussion instrument of North India.

The level of sophistication and tonal beauty it possesses has elevated the instrument to an unmatched status in the world of percussion.

Mridangam

Mridangam is one of the oldest drums in the world. It is a double-sided drum whose body is usually made using a hollowed piece of jackfruit wood about an inch thick. The Mridangam is most widely used in Carnatic music performances. The techniques developed over thousands of years enable a musician to use the Mridangam as a medium to express complex rhythmic structures with ease.
