Whether accompanying the delicate notes of a flute or the deep resonance of a sarod, I focus on being in the moment with the artist to create a seamless musical flow. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Playing 'laggis' with my dear friend and exceptional sitarist, Mehtab Ali Niazi.

I spend time during the sound check ensuring the tabla resonance perfectly complements the instrument, whether it is the high frequencies of a violin or the meditative depth of a sarod. It is about balancing the sound so the main artist feels supported, not overshadowed. In Hindustani classical music, the tabla player is much more than a timekeeper. I view my role as a *sangatkar*, or collaborator. When I play alongside instruments like the sitar, sarod, or flute, I constantly adjust my *laya* (tempo) and dynamics to match the soloist's mood. For a delicate piece, I keep the percussion soft and suggestive. When the tempo picks up, especially in a *jugalbandi*, I engage in a rhythmic dialogue that challenges and supports the artist. I have been fortunate to perform at iconic venues like Prithvi Theatre and for diverse audiences across Mumbai and beyond. Whether you are hosting a formal concert, a corporate event, or an intimate *baithak*, I bring my own professional-grade tabla set and arrive early for a thorough sound check. My goal is to ensure the *sur* (melody) and *taal* (rhythm) are perfectly balanced, making the music the primary focus of the event. I believe in professional stage etiquette and traditional hierarchy, ensuring the performance remains respectful to the art form while engaging the audience. ## About Tejovrush Joshi I am Tejovrush from Mumbai. Music for me is a spiritual path, and I am incredibly grateful to be on this journey. I thrive on the energy of live performances, whether it is a small, intimate baithak at home or a grand stage show.
