Pundalik Bhagwat is a Maharashtrian Brahman whose family has been settled in Banaras (Varanasi) for four generations. He is an excellent tabla player and singer and is teaching both tabla and vocal music to his sons Purnish and Pushkar.
This film is about a thoughtful, articulate and intensive approach to childhood musical transmission-a well-rounded and relatively linear approach which contrasts with the conventions of the hereditary milieu.
