My Story
Namaskar, I’m Anuradha. Tabla is my world, started with my maa, Ila Pal, always telling me ‘Achha kiya, aur achha karo’ (Did well, do better). At that time, I just wanted a ‘wah!’ but now I get it. No big musical family, just me fighting my way, blessed to learn from Ustad Allarakha ji and Zakir Hussain ji. My family’s patriotism runs deep, so I try to give back, like with ‘Taal Tiranga’. Created Stree Shakti, an all-women band, and now exploring Tabla Therapy for wellness. Tabla is my prayer, my truth.
