Dholak

Dholak
Acrylic colours on 50x50 cm canvas.

The Dholak is mainly a folk instrument, lacking the exact tuning and playing techniques of the tabla or the Pakhawaj. The vibrations create a bass sound and lend a different hue to the music. It is widely used in Indian film music and also in traditional weddings among some communities in India.
