Undoubtedly the most striking characteristic of the tabla is the large black spot on each of the playing surfaces. These black spots are a mixture of gum, soot, and iron filings. Their function is to create the bell-like timbre that is characteristic of the instrument.

It's called as 'syahi' , it is to alter the pitch of sound while playing, as it is a fundamental part of it so we can't imagine a tabla without syahi!
