The main highlights of the Guru Poornima concert in Ahmedabad by Rhythm Riders were performances by two professional tabla ensembles, composed by Pandit Divyang Vakil.

The first was a preview performance of his newest work - Ardha Taal Chakravyuha.  As the name indicates, Ardha Taal Chakravyuha is a technical and artistic masterpiece that only few can attempt to play.   A purely classical composition, it is set in half beat cycles, growing one beat at a time from a taal of 2.5 beats to 15.5 beats.   From the taals itself to the individual composition, each part of the performance has been created by Pandit Divyang Vakil.   The group of five tabla players performed three taals and at one point even had the audience counting the cycle of 5.5 beats with them.   Without a doubt, all those in attendance are waiting for the group’s full performance.
