CONCEPT :

“Subhanallah” in Arabic means “God is perfect” or “Praised be God”, or “Glory to God."

Why did I choose Tablas?

Tablas are incredibly fascinating in their origins and appeal.
When they are constructed in India, Hindus are responsible for the inner black core while Muslims construct the leather aspects on the outer part of the instrument.

The word “tabla” likely came from “tabl”, the Persian and Arabic word for drum. Tabla is a shared instrument played by both Hindus & Muslims for Bhajans (devotional songs of the Hindus)
and Qawwali (devotional music of Sufi Islam). All forms of music, especially Hindustani, have always been a source of inspiration to me. And coincidentally, my name, "Sangeetha" translates to "music" in Sanskrit/Hindi/Urdu. Out of all of the Hindu deities, Lord Ganesha (my favorite) is the only one who is depicted playing the tabla.

I have been privileged to watch performances of players from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as well as many folks from the West. Even many women play, including my sister. Hopefully, my two little nephews will learn this art form someday.

“Subhan” is written in the "naskh" script and is read from the bottom up and right to left, with “Allah” on top. For the smaller drum “Allah” is written around the small blocks.
