  Mrdang aur Tabla Vadanpaddhati , a revelatory text published in 1903, is a manual for playing the pakhavaj (mrdang) and the tabla. This book is a translation of this text, and examines its implications for rhythmic and metric theory. It illuminates the process by which 'tabla theory' was created in the early 20th century.
