Description

“Taal is the soul of Indian music.” Without rhythm, sound remains scattered; it is the taal that binds it into a living pulse. In the rich tradition of North Indian classical music, taals form the foundation of both performance and practice. This Taal Calendar is not merely a record of dates—it is a living document of our musical heritage.

The calendar has been designed with a dual purpose: to inform and to inspire. Each month introduces one significant taal along with its structure—beats, divisions, bols, and applications—offering students, performers, and listeners a chance to engage more deeply with rhythm. To bring these taals alive, every month also features a QR code linking to a short explanatory video demonstration.

Alongside taals, the calendar highlights the birth and death anniversaries of great maestros, ensuring that their contributions are remembered and celebrated. It also showcases India’s wide variety of folk and classical percussion instruments—from tabla, pakhawaj, and mridang to dholak, naqqara, daf, halgi, and many more—along with notes on their renowned exponents.

By blending tradition with technology, this calendar becomes much more than a collection of dates. It is an educational companion, a cultural archive, and a rhythmic journey that connects us with the masters of the past and inspires the musicians of tomorrow.

About the Author

Prof. Dr. Shweta D. Vegad is a Professor of Music, Vocalist, and Poet — an Indian classical musician, and composer. She holds the titles of Sangeet Alankar and Doctorate in Music, and serves as a research guide at Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj Nagpur University. She is also an examiner for the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal, Mumbai, and currently teaches at Rewaben Manoharbhai Patel Mahila Kala Mahavidyalaya, Bhandara.
Her creative journey moves beautifully between music and poetry. In her bandishes, she brings together words, rhythm, and melody to express deep feelings and devotion. Rooted in the tradition of Indian classical music, she aims to inspire young learners to love, respect, and practice this art with dedication.
The Taal Calendar is a reflection of her vision — more than just a calendar, it is a journey through rhythm and time. It reminds us that every moment has its own taal, and even silence carries music within it.
Beyond music, Dr. Vegad’s creativity flows into the world of colors and canvas — where every brushstroke resonates with the rhythm of her soul. She believes that art and music are two forms of the same beauty — where every brushstroke sings like a raag, and every melody paints a picture in the heart.
Through the Taal Calendar, she wishes to share the rhythm of life itself — a reminder that time moves in harmony, just like music.
