The journey of Little Tabla Artist | Truptraj Pandya
Truptraj Pandya was born on October 23, 2006. According to Truptraj’s website, he was hardly 2-year-old when he started playing the tabla. Listening to his grandmother sing devotional songs, Truptraj used to sit beside her and play aluminum dabbas as an instrument.

Atul, his dad, often provides vocal accompaniment to his performances. Legends like Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasiya, and Ustad Iqbal Ahmed Khan have given their blessings and help him get better skills.
