Master craftsman.
Tanaji Jadhav, at work in Banastarim village, Goa.
The making of percussion instruments found in Indian music is a traditional métier, one handed down within families over generations. He specialises in the Tabla, but is equally adept at fashioning other instruments such as the Pakhawaj, Dhol, and suchlike.

A grand portrayal ! thank you sir
Thanks, Sarmila.
#2 is compelling for me. Looks timeless and respectful, yet the man’s face is directly expressive. Thanks, Rajan.
Thank you, Richard. These impromptu photo opportunities are a delight.
A great portrait of life in a rarely seen Country! Handmade, passed down through generations of traditions yet not lost in the “progress”, or regress, of a particular society. Well seen and well preserved amigo!
Thank you, Dan. Yes, in a sense like heirlooms.
Very enjoyable scenes from life in Goa. The second photo has a very special lighting that appeals to my sensibility.
Thanks, Bob. This was a ‘target of opportunity.’ I was passing by and saw him from the car window.
