Talavya (formerly Tabla Ecstasy) has just returned from an incredible performance at IIT-Kharagpur's cultural festival - Springfest. Every year, the organizers host a classical evening where they called the likes of Pt Hariprasad and Ustad Zakir Hussain. Last year, it was Pt.

Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and this year it was Pt. Divyang Vakil's Talavya!

The show could not have received a better response. After a performance that lasted over an hour, the audience was on their feet asking for a repeat performance. After the group played another segment, again the audience was on their feet chanting once more.

The Director of IIT was soon on the stage, congratulating the artists. "I have many tabla players before, but have never heard tabla like this from artists of this age." The four young stars (Rushi Vakil, Nishant Mehta, Kaumil Shah and Sahil Patel) packed a punch with their perfect synchronization and fast playing. With their dedication and under the continued taalim of their Guru Pandit Divyang Vakil, this group and each artist is sure to go a long way.
