Description

Tabla is an important instrument in Indian music. It accompanies almost all the renderings of singing, dance and instrumental music. Its accompaniment makes the dance and music more attractive and sonorous.

The rhythmic accompaniment enhances the beauty of a musical rendering by providing a rhythmic base on which the waves of music dance.
