Karuna Murthy is a young maestro of Thavil, a traditional south Indian percussion
played on auspicious occasions and at Hindu temples.
This website is dedicated to all great musicians
who provide the taala and raga to humankind.
Essentially a temple instrument from down south of India,
thavil is an integral part of Hindu eddings too. It is the
main percussion accompaniment for nadaswaram played in temples
and at wedding ceremonies.
